Workshop on Mathematical Models of Climate Variability, Environmental Change and Infectious Diseases

Administration

Description

ASSOCIATED ACTIVITIES:
The workshop will be run in collaboration with the preceding School on Modelling Tools and Capacity Building in Climate and Public Health (15 April - 1 May, smr2453).

Participants can also apply to attend this earlier School. Attendance at both workshops is not mandatory, each workshop is designed to be self-contained. However, during the first three days, the School and this Workshop will integrate by focusing the lectures on topics of common interest.

The Workshop is co-sponsored by IUGG
