Real-time Infectious Disease Modelling Seminars

We run a monthly virtual seminar focused on the real-time modelling of infectious diseases. Our goal is to bridge different communities (i.e., mathematical modellers, statisticians, epidemiologists, decision-makers, and others) and create a friendly, open space for discussion.

Each session lasts an hour, with talks of 20-40 minutes followed by questions and open community discussion — we put a real emphasis on that discussion! We love hearing the behind-the-scenes of people’s research, so we actively encourage speakers to share the challenges they faced, the reasoning behind their choices, and any open questions they’d like to put to the room. Occasionally we mix things up with a journal club or community discussions, where participants share what they’re currently working on and/or explore ideas together.

We meet on the first Wednesday of every month at 3pm UK time. Recordings are available on request if you can’t join live, but we encourage you to come and be part of the conversation in real time!

A list of scheduled speakers can be found here. If you’re interested in speaking, or in helping to organise the series, please reach out to Sam Abbott, Fanny Bergström, or Clara Brigitta.
