Objective
The aim of this workshop  is to help engaging the next generation of mathematicians in the internationalization of science  for the enhancement of scientific trainings and exchanges. The workshop is part of a long term goal to increase collaborations and scientific exchanges between US and African mathematicians. This time, Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), the Calculus of Variations and Applied Mathematics have been chosen as a vehicle to promote the building of the network. The Institute of Mathematical and Physical Sciences (IMSP) and the University of Abomey Calavi (UAC), Benin, Africa, offer this great opportunity to gather mathematicians who can contribute into the above mentioned goal.This program  expected to foster long-term collaborations between the participants from Africa and America.   
Scientific overview
The subject to be covered are: Geometric Analysis, PDEs, the Calculus of Variations and Applied Mathematics.
