Infectious Disease Modelling Conference 2024 (IDM 2024)

November 6-8, 2024
Millennium Hilton Bangkok, Thailand

Background:

The Infectious Disease Modelling Conference 2024 places a special emphasis on infectious disease modelling that informs health policymaking. This three-day conference provides a unique platform to share the latest ideas, data, methods, models and insights with academics, researchers, health professionals and policymakers worldwide, with a focus on addressing the specific challenges faced by low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

 

Key Objectives:

1. Latest Development in Infectious Disease Modelling: Highlight cutting-edge research, methodologies, and breakthroughs that shape our understanding of infectious disease dynamics.
2. Policy Relevance: Engage policymakers in evidence-based discussions to inform public health decisions. Bridge the gap between research and practical implementation.
3. Strengthening LMIC Capacity: Explore strategies to enhance infectious disease modeling capabilities in LMICs, considering resource constraints and unique epidemiological contexts. Empower researchers and practitioners in these regions.
4. Region-Specific Challenges: Discuss modeling approaches that account for the diverse population structure, urbanization, and cultural factors prevalent in specific geographical regions and contexts.
5. Equitable Access to Modeling Tools: Promote the adoption of methodologies and share best practices to ensure that all countries can benefit from advanced infectious disease modeling development.

 

Conference Highlights:

  • Research Studies: Engage with presentations on disease modeling efforts, where experts will share their latest findings, highlight successes, discuss challenges, and delve into valuable lessons learned.
  • Panel discussion: Researchers and policymakers will share their experiences and discuss how infectious disease modeling informs decision-making. Explore strategies to prepare for future pandemics, including “Disease X.”
  • Collaboration and Networking: Connect with fellow participants from diverse backgrounds, fostering cross-country and interdisciplinary collaborations.
  • Capacity Building Opportunities: Organized sessions to empower early-career researchers and practitioners to share their insights in modeling infectious diseases. Early career networking sessions provide a platform to exchange ideas, share experiences, and build lasting partnerships in the career paths.

 

Who Should Attend:

  • Researchers and Practitioners: Learn from global experts and contribute your insights.
  • Health Officials and Policymakers: Understand the role of modeling in shaping public health policies.
  • Students and Early Career Scientists: Exposure to cutting-edge research and networking opportunities.

 

Join us in Bangkok as we collectively advance infectious disease modeling and work towards a healthier future for all.
