The African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) Ghana, in partnership with Imperial College London, hosted the second edition of the Global Fellows Programme (GFP) from November 11-15, 2024, under the theme, "Synergizing Efforts for Healthy and Sustainable Cities." This dynamic five-day event brought together PhD students, researchers, and academic experts from AIMS, the University of Ghana, and Imperial College London to explore innovative solutions for transforming urban spaces into healthier, more sustainable environments.
The week-long event culminated in the presentation of innovative accelerator projects addressing urban challenges, particularly geared at providing solutions for Accra, in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities.
During the weeklong programme, Professor Hugh Brady, President of Imperial College London, visited AIMS Ghana, building on shared commitment to advancing scientific education and research in Africa.
He commended AIMS' transformative work and alumni achievements in global academia and industry, and also engaged with the Global Fellows Programme participants.
