ICMCS Mission & Vision Statement

Empowering innovation through multidisciplinary training and research at ICMCS.

Mission: To provide the most conducive environment in Africa for cutting edge, gender-sensitive, and applications-oriented training, research, service and partnerships in the mathematical and computer sciences.
Vision:: To be a global player and, in particular the institution of choice in Africa, for cutting edge, gender-sensitive, and applications-oriented training, research, service and partnerships in the mathematical and computer sciences.

Academic Divisions

Structure of the ICMCS Division
Each division has the structure of a collection of interdisciplinary training, capacity building, research and development groups. Applications to the solution of problems from business, engineering, medicine, and industry are at the core of the activities of these divisions. Moreover, the divisions conduct their activities with special attention to gender equity and the needs of identified disadvantaged groups.

Core Divisions of ICMCS

Academically, the ICMCS is structured into three core divisions, which are:

Computer Sciences: Computer literacy, Capacity building: Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Courses and new methodologies in the computer sciences and information technology for all professionals; Pre-university level computer sciences courses; Projects aimed at effecting internet connectivity and access for primary and secondary schools as well as remotely located rural communities. Museum of the Mathematical and Computer Sciences: Development of a modern museum of the mathematical and computer sciences that will be accessible to the entire society, particularly primary and secondary level students and teachers.

Our Programs

The activities of the academic Divisions of the ICMCS are carried out within the context of the Centre’s five cardinal programs. These are the following cross-cutting programs:

Capacity Building and Lifelong Learning:

Through cutting edge undergraduate and graduate training and research, activities with impact on national development, courses, conferences, workshops and exhibitions, concrete applications, partnerships, mathematical and computer literacy, institutional management capacity building, staff development, the award of small grants and prizes to young scientists as ways of promoting quality teaching and research activities as well as rewarding excellence, and research on science and technology policy.

Information Science and Communication Technology:

Through the development of an information and communication technology backbone, library acquisitions/development (both conventional and electronic), publications and dissemination.

International Cooperation and Visiting Scientists:

Through networking, internship, exchange/linkage, lectureships, research visits, sabbaticals, short-term visits, assistantships, and fellowships.

Industrial, Business, Medicine and Engineering Application:

Through the concrete and sustained applications of the mathematical sciences, computer sciences and information technology to development issues, identification and tackling of hot topics from the industry, business and engineering, and joint research activities with the industry, business and engineering.

Gender Equity and Affirmative Action:

Through enhancing female participation and affirmative action in training, research and consultancy activities, lifelong learning for women and disadvantaged groups in the mathematical and computer sciences, role-modeling by women experts in the mathematical and computer sciences at all levels of education.
