This school aims to show the students and young researchers certain recent developments and examples of mathematical modelings of the tropical and Amazonian ecosystems. The principal goal will consist in revealing the important part which play mathematical methods in the fields of the biodiversity and sustainability of natural resources (forests, host-parasite systems, terrestrial and coastal ecosystems, etc) and to provide basic tools for modeling and simulation. The School will facilitate the contacts between the participants, coming from various Latin-American and Caribbean countries, and the internationally recognized specialists.
The School is organized within the framework of the Network Europe - Latin America in Applied Mathematics (REALMA) whose main goal is to promote and strengthen the training in the field of applied mathematics in the Latin America and Caribbean areas. It will be followed by a three days international seminar on the same topics.
