The webinar "Infectious Disease Outbreaks" will be hosted by the University of Bordeaux.  The goal of this series of talks is to present multiple aspects of mathematical modelling to address important problems relevant to infectious disease outbreaks. Such problems can be addressed from many different angles from data, to mathematical models, to simulations and their combinations. COVID-19 pandemic will indeed be one of major topics in this series of lectures. We organize this series of lectures, between France (Europe) and Canada (North America), to bring together mathematicians from both continents. 

The first talk will take place on Thursday October 15 2020: 

9:00-9:45 AM (Eastern time) or 17:00-17:45 (in France) 

Jacques Demongeot (University Grenoble Alpes), Modelling Covid-19 outspread dynamics involving geoclimatic and demographic factors

  

9:45-10:00 AM  (Eastern time) or 17:45-18:30 (in France) 

Glenn Webb, Vanderbilt University, USA, Predicting the Development of COVID-19 Epidemics from Reported Case Data 

We plan to have one meeting every two weeks, which will consist in two 45-minutes talks given by one speaker from Europe and one speaker from North America. All the information concerning the talks will be given on the webpage https://www.math.u-bordeaux.fr/~pmagal100p/webinar2020.html  except for the zoom meeting information, which will be communicated by e-mail. 

We would be very pleased to welcome you in the online seminar. If you are willing to attend and wish to keep receiving information about this event, please contact Quentin Griette quentin.griette@u-bordeaux.fr  so that we add you to the mailing list.

The International Conference "Dynamical Systems Applied to Biology and Natural Sciences – DSABNS" is a well established International Scientific event that has been organized since 2010, every year during the month of February.

The program includes:

Public Lectures providing a public forum for academic researchers from diverse disciplinary backgrounds;

Plenary Talks which are scheduled to open and to close the scientific program (morning and afternoon);

Invited talks are meant to provide context for a parallel session which is filled with Contributed Talks given by the conference participants;

Poster Sessions are also part of the conference which also counts with a Book of Abstracts with ISBN, published at the end of the event.

The conference programme covers research topics in scientific areas such as population dynamics, eco-epidemiology, epidemiology of infectious diseases, molecular and antigenic evolution and methodological topics in the natural sciences and mathematics.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the DSABNS 2021 will be VIRTUAL. The 12th Conference on Dynamical Systems Applied to Biology and Natural Sciences, DSABNS 2021, will be held from February 2-5, 2021.
