| The African perspective about fostering Mathematics in the continent | |
|
In this
talk, we aim to discuss about establishing long-term
scientific networks between African and developped
countries mathematicians to address issues from many
sciences in a necessarily multidisciplinary approach
involving theoretical and applied mathematical
developments. The development of such sustainable
networks (that may be open to other institutional or
industrial partners), can rely on various and diverse
collaborations that have existed for many years, and
African mathematical sciences environments (AIMS; CIMPA;
AMU; EMS, IMU, ICTP,...).

| Reflection on teaching and supervising students from the Global South | |
| Abstract. Since 2018 I have been teaching and supervising students in many countries in the Global South (South Africa, Kenya, Cameroon, Rwanda, Egypt and Pakistan). I will try to describe my experiences and highlight what are the main challenges the students I met faced and what I believe could be possible effective strategies in the future | |

Start of a mathematical cooperation in
South Sudan
|
|
| Abstract. I
will report the attempts to start the first mathematical
cooperation activities in an isolated country like South
Sudan through two trips to the country, a master thesis by
a student of our university and the involvement of South
Sudanese teachers in a maths camp promoted by
international organizations in Kitale (kenya) for students
aged between 14 and 19 years. |

| Mentoring African Research in Mathematics (MARM), the first 15 years | |
| Abstract. The MARM programme links African academics with their UK and European counterparts via professional mentoring partnerships. In doing so, MARM provides the means and opportunities for African mathematicians to develop international working relationships while also improving the quality of academic provision within their home institution. We will give an overview of the MARM scheme and discuss its successes and challenges | |

| Equitable Africa-Europe partnerships in pure mathematics | |
| Abstract. I will describe some personal experiences of collaborative research and training projects in pure mathematics with African colleagues. I will draw out some lessons about how one can aim to make these collaborations truly equitable and mutually enriching. | |

Documenting the Stories of Female
African Mathematicians
|
|
|
Over the past
four years, Femafricmaths has been sharing the stories
of female African mathematicians. About 35 stories from
mathematicians from 13 African countries and 2 from the
diaspora have been shared on social media to
highlight the diversity in career options after a
degree in mathematics. This talk will highlight the
activities of Femafricmaths and possible collaborations
with individuals and organisations.
