Last February, Professor Moustapha Fall, through the Research Center, organized two workshops: a winter school under the theme “Applied non-linear Dynamics and Scientific Writing” from February 4 to 8, followed by a school of spring on “Local & Nonlocal Elliptic & Geometric problems” from February 18th to 22nd. Organized in partnership with the Leibniz Center for Tropical Marine Research – ZMT, Germany, with support from DAAD and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, the Winter School was designed for students of theoretical mathematics, physics and ecology interested in learning how to describe complex, natural and nonlinear phenomena with computational tools. AIMS Senegal jointly organized the spring school with Goethe-University Frankfurt.
