Welcome to SWIM, the South-West German Infectious Disease Modelling Workshop.
Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR), Heidelberg University.
Tuesday 9 December 2025, 10:30 - 17:00.
About
SWIM is an informal and community-organized one-day meeting bringing together disease modellers, epidemiologists and biostatisticians from Baden-Württemberg, Rheinland-Pfalz and neighbouring regions. 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
Invited talks
The focus topic for the invited sessions is Mathematical Modelling and Public Health Decision Making. We are happy to welcome the following speakers.

Contributed talks
The remaining sessions are open to all aspects of dynamic and statistical modelling of infectious diseases, both theoretical and applied. See below for details on submission.
Registration
You can register for participation via this form. Participation is free of charge and includes a vegetarian lunch as well as coffee and snacks. Unfortunately we cannot offer any financial support for travel fees. The workshop is also open to participants based outside of Baden-Württemberg and Rheinland-Pfalz. Registration is possible until 15 November 2025.
