CoRS - Combinatorial Research Studio

ISP Mathematics supports the network CoRS. African member universities in CoRS are:

• Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia
• University of Antananarivo, Madagascar
• Makerere University, Uganda
• Mbarara University of Science and Technology, Uganda

Supervising/mentoring collaborators from France and Sweden are:

• Paris City University, France
• Stockholm University, Sweden

CoRS has been successful in gathering very talented students and supervising collaborators from Sweden and France. Moreover, almost half of the members of CoRS are female scientists. Members in the group comes from Ethiopia, Uganda and Madagascar.

The activities are coordinated by Dr Samuel A Fufa at Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia.

ISP has supported the network since its formation in 2018.

Objectives

The main objective is to initiate and develop research in enumerative combinatorics in the region.

In order to secure sustainability, the group is eager to invite more students and researchers from Africa to join the CoRS group and conduct research. To prepare new candidates, CoRS group members will offer online courses on basic combinatorics.
