Mathematical Modelling of Covid-19: Using models to understand SAR-CoV-2 transmission and interventions

Please note that this is an online event (11th October 2021).

Registration for this event is now closed. If you would like to attend the event and have not yet registered, please email Dr Robin Thompson at Robin.N.Thompson@warwick.ac.uk

This event will showcase research conducted by epidemic modellers both within Warwick and within JUNIPER (Joint Universities Pandemic and Epidemiological Research). JUNIPER is a consortium of epidemic modelling research groups from seven universities: Warwick, Bristol, Cambridge, Exeter, Lancaster, Manchester and Oxford.

A draft timetable of talks for 11th October 2021 is below. Please note that this is an initial draft, and so the timings are liable to change.
