SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-us:"CAS\/MillerComm Lecture: \"Expanding Opportunity in Africa: The Next Einstein Initiative\" by Neil Turok"
DESCRIPTION:"\rThe CAS/MillerComm public events series brings to campus people who offer unique cross-disciplinary contributions to the intellectual and cultural life of the university.\r\r\"Expanding Opportunity in Africa: The Next Einstein Initiative\"\rNeil Turok\rDirector and Niels Bohr Chair, Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, Waterloo, Canada and Founder, African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), Muizenberg, South Africa\r\rIn 2003, Neil Turok, one of the world’s leading physicists, created the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) in Cape Town, South Africa. Its goal is to unlock the potential of Africa’s youth—the world’s greatest untapped pool of scientific and technical talent. AIMS and its Next Einstein Initiative, which is creating centers of advanced study throughout the continent, have captured imaginations across Africa and around the world.\r\rNeil Turok discusses AIMS’ achievements and future prospects as well as the vital role individual scientists, departments, and universities like Illinois can play.\r\rThis Center for Advanced Study event is hosted by the Department of Mathematics in conjunction with the ACES Office of International Programs, Beckman Institute, Center for African Studies, College of Education, Department of Astronomy, Department of Chemistry, Department of Computer Science, Geography and Geographic Information Science, Department of Educational Policy, Organization and Leadership, Department of Physics, Department of Sociology, Institute for  Condensed Matter Theory (ICMT), Illinois Geometry Lab, Office for Mathematics, Science, and Technology Education (MSTE), Office of Public Engagement, and the Spurlock Museum.\r\r"
