Mathematical Sciences for Technology Innovation and Human Development


Welcome

The Faculty of Science of Eduardo Mondlane University (UEM) is organising the2022 annual SAMSA conference. This conference will create a platform for the dissemination of research ideas and results, networking among mathematical scientists and present an opportunity for upcoming researchers to engage with seasoned experts in the mathematical sciences. For detailed and up to date information about SAMSA kindly visit  (http://samsa-math.org/).

Goals of the Conference

The SAMSA 2022 conference has the fundamental objective of establishing a platform for networking, interaction and learning between mathematicians in the region, as well as bringing together scientists working in the various areas of mathematics and in all fields of science that use mathematics, to share new trends in mathematics applications. Developments in the field of mathematics and applied mathematics open up new areas of research, not only in pure mathematics, but also in all other fields of science that make use of mathematics. More specifically, SAMSA 2022 has the following objectives:

  • Stimulate regional and international collaboration in training, research and outreach within the region and beyound;
  • Establish an interdisciplinary platform for policy makers, managers, researchers, professionals and educators to present and discuss the latest innovations, trends and concerns, as well as practical challenges and solutions adopted in different areas of application of mathematics;
  • Raise the level of interest in mathematics in the country;
  • Raise institutional visibility locally and internationally;
  • Carry out work on the MASAMU program;
  • Approve the report of the past annual meeting and elect new bodies for the SAMSA steering committee;
  • Academic and cultural interaction among the participants.

Coins are provided in denominations of 50 centavos, 1, 2, 5 and 10 Meticais. 1 Metical is the equivalent of 100 Centavos. There are many local Forex bureaus and banks around the conference venue, some of them open 24 hours. Major credit cards including MasterCard and foreign Visa cards are accepted by most upmarket hotels, lodges, restaurants, retail outlets & vehicle rental services.
When travelling to Mozambique via vehicle, make sure you carry a sufficient amount of cash in both local currencies for border fees because not all border posts accept credit cards nor have the facilities to do an electronic t ransaction as such.
