About ASIAM
The African Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ASIAM) is dedicated to advancing the field of mathematics across Africa. ASIAM fosters collaboration between researchers, industry professionals, and policy makers to address African challenges through the power of mathematics. With a focus on real-world applications, ASIAM supports research, education, and innovation that drive economic growth and social progress.
ASIAM’s initiatives include organizing conferences, workshops, and training programs that encourage knowledge sharing among mathematicians, students, and industry stakeholders. It also provides research grants, publishes academic journals, and maintains partnerships with institutions both within Africa and internationally. ASIAM’s vision is to build a thriving mathematical community that contributes to sustainable development and enhances Africa’s representation in the global mathematical landscape.
The society operates through a structured governance system with regional representatives across seven African regions, ensuring that every area has a voice in its mission. From supporting young mathematicians and women in mathematics to developing mathematics-based solutions for industries, ASIAM is committed to empowering African mathematicians to make a significant impact on the continent and beyond.
