Paul Kagame

"I have been delighted to see the progress of the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS). In record time it has built a reputation for excellence, innovation and a true spirit of pan-Africanism. The global recognition it has earned is well-deserved, and I consider it a model for the development of mathematics and sciences in Africa. The NextEinstein initiative, which seeks to establish AIMS Centres all over Africa, is an inspirational programme which I strongly support. This simply must happen."

— His Excellency Paul Kagame, President of Rwanda
