Workshop on Modeling Population Dynamics in Ecology, Environment and Epidemiology

New Dates

August 15 - 19, 2022, The Fields Institute

Location: Fields Institute, Room 230

Description

The goal of this international workshop is to bring together leading researchers from different fields to report and communicate with each other about their current work on modeling population dynamics in ecology, environment, and epidemiology. The workshop will also provide a unique opportunity for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to interact with leading researchers in these areas. The work that will be presented at the workshop will help us to study challenging ecological, environmental and health problems, such as pollution, invasion of species, and prevention and control of emerging of new diseases, and surging of existing diseases. One of the aims of the workshop is to broaden the education and stimulate the research of young, female, and under-represented researchers.
