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. 

Sincerely yours,
