Canadian Emerging Infectious Disease Modelling (25w7007)

The Banff International Research Station will host the "Canadian Emerging Infectious Disease Modelling" BIRS Now! workshop in Banff from January 17 - 19, 2025.

This is a two-day summit involving researchers using mathematical and statistical methods to model emerging infectious diseases, leading networks that played central roles in the pandemic response. The summit’s goal is to support pandemic preparedness in Canada by writing a proposal for a unified Canadian Emerging Infectious Disease Modelling network and platform with lasting resources.

The Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery (BIRS) is a collaborative Canada-US-Mexico venture that provides an environment for creative interaction as well as the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and methods within the Mathematical Sciences, with related disciplines and with industry. The research station is located at The Banff Centre in Alberta and is supported by Canada's Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), and Alberta's Advanced Education and Technology.
