CONFIRMED MODERATORS AND PANELISTS
EARLY-CAREER RESEARCHERS’ SANDBOX
To encourage exchange of research work in the preliminary stage among early career researchers, a 90-min session called Early-Career Researchers’ Sandbox will be organized on Day 1. Each of the 12 presenters will present their research ideas/progress in 5 minutes, followed by a 30-minute interactive discussion between the presenters and audience to advance those ideas. Join us in this exciting ECR Sandbox to grow your ideas into groundbreaking research!
SUPPORTING PUBLICATION
The Infectious Disease Modelling journal (https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/infectious-disease-modelling) invites researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to contribute to a special issue focused on advancing infectious disease modelling and its application to health policy in LMICs. As the organising committee members of the inaugural Infectious Disease Modelling Conference, the guest editors are committed to supporting studies that advance infectious disease modelling and enhance pandemic preparedness. We aim to accelerate cutting-edge research, develop novel strategies, and foster knowledge exchange to address modelling challenges, especially those faced by LMICs.
Special issue title: Advancing Infectious Disease Modelling to Inform Health Decision-Making in LMICs (The link to the call for papers will be available soon. For more information, please contact the guest editor Kathy Leung.)
Topics covered:
- Modelling about the emergence and re-emergence of epidemics and pandemics in LMICs
- Pandemic preparedness and application of infectious disease modelling in LMICs
- Modelling neglected tropical diseases and one health approaches for LMIC contexts
- Modelling and analytics on infectious disease surveillance data specific to LMICs
- Intervention considering resource constraints and policy supported by modelling in LMICs
- Case studies of application of infectious disease modelling in LMICs
- Challenges and strategies in translating modelling research to support health decision-making in LMICs
