The University of Bristol Medical School offer intensive online short courses designed for researchers and healthcare practitioners. We are delighted to confirm that bookings for our popular Essentials of Infectious Disease Modelling and Economic Evaluation short course will open at midday on 8 October 2024.
Mathematical modelling is an important tool that can be used to understand the dynamics of infectious diseases. Academics working within Bristol Medical School, including those who tutor on the course, are involved in international research on human and zoonotic infectious diseases to help understand epidemics and predict the future burden of diseases, as well as the impact of different control measures to inform policy.

The proceedings will feature plenary lectures, contributed talks and posters, and interactive sandpits fostering interdisciplinary collaborations. All researchers interested in biological applications of continuum mechanics are welcome to attend; PhD students and early career researchers are particularly encouraged to do so. Contributions of short talks and posters are keenly sought. Links to submit contributions (by 4 May) and/or register (by 8 June), and information about financial support available to students and carers, can be found on the event website: https://sites.google.com/view/continuum-mechanics-in-biology/
On July 10th, the newly established Interdisciplinary Center for Mathematical Modeling of Infectious Disease Dynamics (IMMIDD) at the University of Münster will host an inaugural symposium titled "From Chaos to Cohesion - The Future of Infectious Disease Modeling".
The aim of the symposium is to kick-off collaborations across multiple scientific disciplines at the University of Münster and beyond. Through scientific talks from international speakers and panel discussions, we will discuss the role of infectious disease modeling in the COVID-19 pandemic and how collaboration across scientific disciplines will help us understand the past and prepare for the future.
The program includes scientific talks, panel discussions and networking opportunities. Invited speakers are: - Mirjam Kretzschmar (UMC Utrecht) - Niel Hens (Hasselt University) - Richard Boucherie (University of Twente) - Michael Meyer-Hermann (Helmholtz Zentrum für Infektionsforschung)
Both in-person and online participation is possible.
Please register by June 15th, 2025. Read more and sign up for free at https://www.uni-muenster.de/IMMIDD/en/aktuelles/symposium.html
We are pleased to announce the 2025 OpenVT Workshop on Multiscale Model Sharing and Reproducibility, being held as a satellite meeting of the Society of Mathematical Biology (SMB) meeting, on July 13th 2025 at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta Canada.
Building complex multicellular agent-based biological simulations (virtual tissues) in a sharable, extensible and reproducible way is challenging but critical to advancing research and enhancing deployment.
This one day workshop will offer tutorials on using popular multicellular modelling frameworks which support rapid simulation construction and distribution and a multicellular model reproducibility hackathon which will explore best practice for model design and distribution.

We are pleased to announce the 2025 CompuCell3D Virtual Tissue Modeling Workshop and Hackathon at Indiana University, Bloomington, July 28th to August 10th, 2025.
Learn to model your biological system of interest with one-on-one help. Week 1 will cover CC3D basics. Week 2 will cover advanced topics in CC3D, followed by a 2-day model-building hackathon. Physicists, biologists, computer scientists, and modelers team up to build research-grade models of biological systems. All experience levels are welcome.

The workshop will bring together researchers from all career stages who are interested in using mathematical modelling and analysis to improve our understanding of pattern formation phenomena in biology and ecology.
Plenary talks will be given by Karen Page (UCL), Jonathan Sherratt (Heriot-Watt), and Philip Maini (Oxford). These will be complemented by short contributed talks and plenty of time for informal discussions, including at a social dinner.
