Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute

What Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute does

The Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) is a not-for-profit peak body founded in 2002 and operated from the University of Melbourne's Parkville campus, serving as Australia's national voice and champion for mathematics and statistics. It works across K-12 schools, universities, industry, government, and the community to address gaps in mathematical capability, including teacher shortages, declining advanced maths participation, limited cross-institutional access to specialist courses, underrepresentation of women and First Nations students, and weak industry-academia linkages. Core programs span school-level initiatives (ICE-EM Mathematics textbooks published with Cambridge University Press & Assessment, Victorian Maths Camps, Industry Day for Teachers, ChooseMaths), higher education and research training (AMSI Online for cross-institutional honours, masters, and third-year subjects; Summer and Winter Schools; Summer Research Scholarships; AMSIConnect; BioInfoSummer), industry engagement (APR.Intern PhD internships), and equity programs (Specialist Maths High School Scholarships for Girls). The operating model is hybrid not-for-profit: recurring membership fees from 40+ Australian universities, mathematics societies, and government agencies form a baseline, supplemented by corporate sponsorships (notably SAS and Jane Street), philanthropic donations via the AMSI Foundation, government co-funding for specific programs, and modest per-subject enrolment fees for AMSI Online (free for member students, A$750-A$1,500 for non-members). Distribution is primarily direct through member universities and event delivery, with online platforms (rhed.amsi.org.au, schools.amsi.org.au, careers.amsi.org.au, srs.amsi.org.au, bis.amsi.org.au) providing national reach into schools, students, and researchers.

Core offering

AMSI is a not-for-profit national peak body for mathematics and statistics that operates cross-institutional online education programs (AMSI Online: Honours, Masters, and Third-Year), funds undergraduate research scholarships (Summer Research Scholarships), delivers residential training schools and conferences (Summer School, Winter School, BioInfoSummer, AMSIConnect), runs Australia's only all-sector all-discipline PhD internship program (APR.Intern), and produces school-level curriculum resources including the ICE-EM Mathematics textbook series in collaboration with Cambridge University Press & Assessment.

Product overview

The Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) operates as a unified platform-plus-programs organization offering a comprehensive portfolio of educational initiatives rather than a single software product. The core offerings include: school education programs (AMSI Schools, ICE-EM Mathematics textbooks), higher education and research training (AMSI Research and Higher Education, AMSI Online: Honours and Masters, AMSI Online: Third-Year, Summer Research Scholarships), residential schools and conferences (Summer School, Winter School, AMSIConnect, BioInfoSummer), industry engagement (APR.Intern, Industry Day for Teachers), career guidance (AMSI Careers platform), and equity-focused initiatives (Specialist Maths High School Scholarships for Girls, Victorian Maths Camps). These programs work together to build mathematical capability from secondary school through to early career researcher, addressing gaps across the educational pipeline.
