The workshop on multiscale infectious disease modeling will take place from Wednesday, March 18 14:00 to Friday, March 20 12:30.
Infectious diseases spread is often heterogeneous on a spatial scale and while some regions might be classified as 'hot spots', others might be close to infection-free or with a relatively small case incidence. In order to address research questions on different scales, e.g., from country-wide lockdowns to county-specific interventions or to study household or workplace transmission questions, differently detailed models are needed.
In this workshop, we will show you and discuss a broad range models ranging from simple compartmental models through metapopulation to agent-based and hybrid agent-metapopulation-based models
We will use the software framework MEmilio which has a broad range of preimplemented mathematical-epidemiological models. Programming skills in at least one programming language and a minimum of experience with infectious disease dynamics are required. For particular questions, contact Martin.Kuehn@uni-bonn.de.
The participation in the workshop is free of costs, but registration is required. Please register until February 15, 2026.
The number of participants is limited to 25 - in case of more registrations, we reserve the right to select participants based on their prior experiences and expressed interest in the workshop. You will be notified about your participation in the workshop by February 16, 2026.
