Registration is now open for the first international mathematical modelling challenge on highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI)!

Mathematical modelling challenges are friendly competitions that bring together scientific teams from around the world. They play a vital role in epidemic preparedness, helping modelling groups strengthen their ability to respond swiftly to the needs of public decision-makers in the fight against infectious diseases. This global initiative is a unique opportunity to collaborate, innovate, and put your modelling skills to the test against one of today’s most pressing threats on animal and human health.
