Call for Art Competition

Theme: “The Power of Creativity: Green Energy for Tomorrow”

Introduction

The GREATER Project announces an Art Competition open to all, aiming to raise awareness about renewable energy and its vital role in building a sustainable future. This initiative encourages students, youth, women, refugees, and persons with special needs to showcase their artwork on green energy in everyday life, especially in developing and emerging countries.

The competition theme is:

"The Power of Creativity: Green Energy for Tomorrow"

Overview of the GREATER Project

The GREATER (“Growing Rwanda Energy Awareness Through highER education”) Project (Ref number: 10108308 - GREATER - ERASMUS-EDU-2022-CBHE) is funded by the European Union under the ERASMUS+ programme.
The project is a collaboration between four Rwandan institutions:
- INES-Ruhengeri
- Rwanda Polytechnic
- University of Technology and Arts of Byumba
- University of Rwanda

And four European institutions:
- University of Parma, Italy
- National Research Council, Italy
- Hochschule Niederrhein, Germany
- Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg, Germany

Started on January 1, 2023, the three-year project has an expected EU contribution of up to €800,000.
Key activities include:
- Staff mobility
- Review and enhancement of the Advanced Diploma in Renewable Energy Technology
- Development of Living Labs—real-life environments open to communities and equipped with smart renewable-energy power stations.

These Living Labs serve both as hands-on learning sites for students and as community hubs to promote awareness and adoption of green technologies.

2025 ICTP-EAUMP SUMMER SCHOOL ON REAL AND HARMONIC ANALYSIS

Manzi — 2025-02-11T09:00:00Z

2025 ICTP-EAUMP SUMMER SCHOOL ON REAL AND HARMONIC ANALYSIS
University of Rwanda, Kigali, Rwanda, July 21 to August 01, 2025
Outline
The proposed School is the next one in a series of summer schools organized in a collaboration
between the Eastern Africa Universities Mathematics Programme (EAUMP), ICTP - Trieste, and
recently CIMPA/AMU under the African Mathematical Schools programme. In 2025, we are
proposing to organize a two-week School on the theme of Real and Harmonic Analysis. The planned
host and location of the school is the Department of Mathematics of the University of Rwanda, Kigali,
Rwanda.
EAUMP is a collaboration between Mathematics Departments in Eastern Africa, started in 2002 with
core funding from the International Science Programme (ISP) based at Uppsala University in Sweden.
One of its main aims is to improve the pure mathematics Masters and Postgraduate training in the
region. The member Universities of the EAUMP are University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania;
University of Nairobi, Kenya; University of Zambia, Zambia; University of Makerere, Uganda;
University of Rwanda, Rwanda.
The ICTP-EAUMP schools, recently all designated as African Mathematical Schools by CIMPA also,
have formed a cornerstone of pure mathematics Masters education in East Africa and beyond. The
most recent schools were organized in 2019 at Makerere University, Uganda on Algebraic Topology;
in 2021 as a remote school on Topics in Concrete Mathematics; in 2022 in Nairobi, Kenya on
Mathematical Programming; in 2023 in Arusha, Tanzania on Enumerative Combinatorics; and in
2024 in Kampala, Uganda on the Mathematics of AI. All schools attracted between 30 and 45
participants. Alongside ISP/EAUMP, ICTP and CIMPA/AMS funding, the schools have received
additional funding from the London Mathematical Society, Elsevier, the Compositio Foundation, as
well as the participating institutions.
Our proposed theme for 2025, real and harmonic analysis, brings fundamental tools to a wide range of
applications within pure and applied mathematics related to, for instance, partial differential equations,
complex analysis and number theory (in the more pure side) and signal processing, image
reconstruction and data analysis (in the more applied side). The topics complement well some of the
areas of interest of the local community (e.g. in classical analysis, ODEs and PDEs, and data science),
and have not been very explored in previous editions of this series of schools. We hope some students
of the course will consider applying to the existing further education programmes available in this
area.
Lead International Coordinators of the School are: Prof. Balazs Szendroi, University of Vienna,
Austria (balazs.szendroi@univie.ac.at) and Prof. Emanuel Carneiro, ICTP, Italy (carneiro@ictp.it).
Lead Local Organiser of the School is Dr. Celestin Kurujyibwami, University of Rwanda, Rwanda
(celeku@yahoo.fr).
