The fellows 2023/2024 of the  Young African Mathematicians (YAM) Fellowship Programme and representatives of the YAM network from Berlin, Bonn and Heidelberg and Münster met this Monday, 17 June 2024, at Mathematics Münster for the final meeting.

A panel discussion with Prof. Dr. Franca Hoffmann, initiator of the YAM programme, Prof. Dr. Raimar Wulkenhaar, Dr. Fridolin Melong, AIMS-DFG fellow at Mathematics Münster, Prof. Dr. Anna Gusakova and Dr. Kristina Wensing provided tips, advice and insight into (academic) careers in and outside Germany.
