Première Conférence Internationale en Calcul de Variations de Recherche Opérationnelle

September 3-22, 2007

Ouidah - BENIN

The Conference on Calculus of Variations and Operations Research follows the first Benin-Brazil School on Mathematics dedicated to the same themes. It is opened to researchers from all over the world and is intended to help connecting african researchers, students, and practitioners, as well as to bring international experts to Benin. The conference provides an excellent opportunity for young researchers to present their work.
