Academic publisher Taylor & Francis Group will be working with the Royal Statistical Society (RSS) to sponsor the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) and its MSc teaching programme for a minimum of four years.
The sponsorship fund will be used to cover travel costs for Royal Statistical Society members to teach local MSc students at AIMS centres across Africa which will assist in the much-needed growth of the discipline across Africa.
Taylor & Francis' statistics programme is well-developed with over 45 journals in statistics and probability, including the journals of the American Statistical Association.
Over the course of the programme sponsorship, further outreach activities will be organised, such as providing access to T&F's statistics journals, donating books to local libraries, and organising events for African researchers and authors in South Africa, Senegal, Ghana, Cameroon, Tanzania or Rwanda.
Building on established scholarly work in Africa, sponsors Taylor & Francis already operates an editorial office in Cape Town to support and strengthen regional journals in collaboration with learned societies and institutions and are actively involved in a number of other development initiatives in Africa, and further afield.
