About

SWIM is an informal and community-organized one-day meeting bringing together disease modellers, epidemiologists and biostatisticians from Baden-Wuerttemberg, 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.

Please note that the event is purely in-person and there is no option for online participation.

We are happy to welcome the following invited speakers.

	Christian Althaus (University of Bern, Switzerland)		Anne Cori (Imperial College London, UK)
