Welcome to SWIM, the South-West German Infectious Disease Modelling Workshop.

 

Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR), Heidelberg

tba (November/December 2025).

 

About

SWIM is an informal and community-organized one-day meeting bringing together disease modellers, epidemiologists and biostatisticians from Baden-Württemberg and Rheinland-Pfalz. We want to foster exchange and give especially early-career researchers the opportunity to share their work in a friendly atmosphere.

The workshop is inspired by (though smaller than) the Smiddy and HKMetrics meetings.

Programme

We are currently working on the programme. Check out the 2024 edition to get an idea of the format and scope.

We are planning to organize a focus session on mathematical modelling of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Please get in touch if you are working in this field.

Signing up / proposing a talk or poster

If you are interested in joining you can subscribe for updates here. If you have questions please send us a quick email. If you would like to propose a talk or poster you can let us know already, but more information on submissions will follow.

The event is free to attend, but we cannot cover any travel fees. While it was conceived for the disease modelling community in Baden-Württemberg and Rheinland-Pfalz, the workshop is open to participants based elsewhere.

Organizers

SWIM 2025 is organized by Barbora Sobolová, Joacim Rocklöv, Johannes Bracher and Luise Nottmeyer.
