INTRODUCTION
The Nelson Mandela African Institute of Science and Technology (NM-AIST)
in Arusha is one in a network of Pan-African Institutes of Science and
Technology located across the continent. These institutes, which are the
proud brainchild of Nelson Mandela, envision to train and develop the
next generation of African scientists and engineers with a view to
impacting profoundly on the continent’s development through the
application of science, engineering and technology (SET).
NM-AIST is being developed to become a world-class
research intensive training institution mainly for postgraduates and
post-docs in science, engineering and technology (SET) related fields.
Initially the fields of study covered by NM-AIST, taking advantage of
the immense bio-diversity in countries forming its catchment area, will
be life sciences and bio-engineering; mathematics, computational and
communication science and engineering; water resources and environmental
science and engineering; materials science and engineering and;
sustainable energy science and engineering.
MISSION AND VISION
The Vision of NM-AIST
is to become a world-class institution of higher learning dedicated to
the pursuit and promotion of excellence in science and engineering, and
their applications for economic growth and sustainable development in
Africa.
The Mission of
NM-AIST is to deliver and promote high quality and internationally
competitive teaching and learning, research and innovation, and public
service in science, engineering and technology for enhanced value
addition to people and natural resources, emphasizing entrepreneurship
with a view to stimulating, catalyzing and promoting economic growth and
sustainable development in Africa.
