Workshop on Evolutionary Dynamical Systems and Applications (EDySA) and Training on MAthematics and MOdeling (MOMA)

Short summary

The use of mathematics for solving and understanding real-life problems has continued to gain significant momentum. Governments and research institutions have heightened their focus on providing support tools for decision-making through basic and applied research. Notably, initiatives such as Onehealth and Sustainable Sciences have gained further traction, underscoring the ongoing trend of prioritizing innovative approaches to address pressing global challenges. The workshop takes a leading role in advancing the field of evolutionary dynamical systems, with a primary focus on exploring the latest advancements. Its main objective is to enhance the capabilities of disease control units by fostering fundamental skills. These essential capacities will have practical applications in real-life problem-solving, particularly in areas like human malaria and neglected tropical diseases control.

Aims and Scopes

The primary objectives of this workshop are as follows:

bring together worldwide leaders in the field to encourage their collaboration with young Senegalese researchers;
share recent developments in applied and theoretical mathematics;
promote the role of population dynamics models as tools for decision-making including health policies.

Throughout the workshop, we will delve into the realms of mathematical modeling and explore the theoretical tools pertaining to differential equations. The significance of mathematical modeling as a crucial decision-making instrument has grown substantially in recent times and is being increasingly utilized. Distinguished speakers will shed light on the various scenarios in which mathematical models are applied, their defining characteristics, and their contributions to shaping control strategies. Additionally, we will also discuss the limitations of these models. From a theoretical perspective, our focus will encompass difference equations, ordinary differential equations, and partial differential equations, both with and without delay. These fundamental aspects of mathematics hold immense potential to address real-world challenges and will be thoroughly examined during the workshop.
