CNRS-Africa Cooperation: Launch of a New Joint Research Programme in Mathematics

 

As part of its Multi-Year Collaboration Plan with Africa, the CNRS has announced its support for the FANE-MATH-PE project, co-led by Sophie Dabo from the Paul Painlevé Laboratory and Patrick Tchepmo Djomegni from North-West University in South Africa, both members of CIMPA.

This innovative project brings together experts in mathematics, ecology, physics, and biotechnology to develop mathematical models capable of addressing challenges as diverse as climate change, ocean resource management, and the prevention of epidemics and cancers.

The goal? To strengthen scientific collaborations with Africa, foster knowledge-sharing, and contribute to the development of solutions tailored to local challenges. By co-constructing knowledge with African institutions, FANE-MATH-PE promotes inclusive and sustainable research, encouraging the emergence of African scientific talent while building an international research network.
