We are live from the opening ceremony of Africa Science Week 2026, and the energy in the room is electric as we celebrate a monumental moment: The Official Launch of the AIMS Satellite Campus in The Gambia!

This new satellite campus represents a massive leap forward for higher education and mathematical sciences in the region. By bringing world-class training and resources directly to Gambian youth, this initiative is set to:

Empower the next generation of African scientists, data analysts, and problem-solvers.

Bridge the gap in advanced STEM education and research across West Africa.

Drive sustainable development by nurturing home-grown innovation.

A huge congratulations to the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) and the Ministry of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology for their incredible partnership and vision in making this milestone a reality.

The future of African innovation is being shaped right here, today. Stay tuned as we bring you more live updates, speeches, and exclusive highlights from the ground!
