The main purpose of EMALCA (La Escuela de Matemática de América Latina y del Caribe) is, in addition to promoting the interrelation of Central American students and professors, to contribute to reducing the deficit of mathematical knowledge and the gap in research capacities in pure mathematics and applied between the countries of the region, as well as to increase in the medium term the human capital in Central America. EMALCA El Salvador was held in San Miguel and hosted 49 students. The main objectives were among others a) to strengthen a common Central American space to put students in contact with relevant topics of current interest, b) offer students the opportunity to know current research topics in several areas of mathematics and to motivate them to undertake research projects.
