Workshop on Epidemic Forecasting, September 28 at KNMI(Utrechtseweg)
Spatial modelling and data integration for early warning at the start of the next pandemic
Description: The workshop is part of the ZonMW program “Modelleren voor Pandemische Paraatheid: een oproep tot innovatie en kennisontwikkeling.”
The workshop represents a collaboration between two projects:
- Intervention Modelling & Bayesian Inference of Transmission routes for early pandemic response (IMBIT)
- Real-time spatial data-driven modelling of infectious disease outbreaks
When: September, 28th
