AIMS Lectures

To quote their webpage: "The African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) is a pan-African network of centres of excellence enabling Africa’s talented students to become innovators driving the continent’s scientific, educational and economic self-sufficiency." 

I first got ensnared in the enterprise by Bernd Schroers, who was involved from the earliest days himself in South Africa when AIMS was set up by Neil Turok.  Various other Heriot-Watt staff and former staff, such as Lyonell Boulton, Gabriel Lord and Jack Carr have also had long-standing commitments to AIMS.
