2007 International Conference in Ouidah

该提案旨在为美国研究人员和一名研究生参加将于2007年9月在贝宁的Ouidah举行的关于变分方法、运筹学和动力学的国际会议提供支持。这次会议由贝宁波尔图-诺沃的数学科学与物理研究所组织，并得到了设在意大利的里雅斯特的国际理论物理中心的帮助。会议将有来自一些欧洲国家、阿根廷、巴西和加拿大的高级与会者以及来自许多非洲国家的学生参加。希望它将通过提供接触一些目前活跃的研究领域的机会，帮助发展这些国家的数学研究专门知识。该奖项由国际科学与工程办公室共同资助。

2007 International Conference in Ouidah The proposal is to provide support for the participation of US researchers and a graduate student in an International Conference on variational methods, operations research and dynamics to be held in Ouidah, Benin in September 2007. The conference is being organized by the Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Physics in Porto-Novo, Benin and with the help of the International Center for Theoretical Physics based in Trieste, Italy. The conference will feature senior participants from a number of European countries, from Argentina, Brazil and Canada and students from many African countries. It is hoped that it will help develop mathematical research expertise in these countries by providing exposure to a number of currently active research areas. This award is co-funded by the Office of International Science and Engineering.
