The African Mathematical School of Abomey-Calavi (Benin), 22 – 28 january 2018: Calls for Application

The Laboratoire de Biomathématiques et d’Estimations Forestières (LABEF) of the Université d’Abomey-Calavi (UAC) organizes from 22 to 28 january 2018 at Abomey-Calavi, with the support of the International Center for Pure and Applied Mathematics (ICPAM), a workshop titled « African Mathematical Schools »,

THEME : « mathematical modeling for epidemiology, ecology and conservation»

The African Mathematical School of Abomey-Calavi aims to:

• Organize discussions about skills on « population matrix models » and «mixed effects models ».
• Identify some appreciate students and provide them with possible opportunities to make doctorate studies
• Establish collaboration between scientists of Africa, Latin America and Europa about the school themes.

The school will take place through conferences (courses), controlled works, lectures, studies of mini-projects and some tourism.

Five courses will be delivered by lecturers from various horizons:

• Lecture I : Introduction to mathematical modeling, Prof Aboubacar Marcos, IMSP, University of Abomey-Calavi, Benin.
• Lecture II : Dynamical system, Prof Calistus Ngonghala, University of Florida, Gainesville, USA.
• Lecture III: Structured population models, Prof Orou Gaoue, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA.
• Lecture IV: Linear mixed effects models, Prof Romain Glèlè Kakaï of LABEF, University of Abomey-Calavi, Benin.
• Lecture V: Survival data analysis, Prof Kossi Gneyou of University of Lomé, Togo.
