The German National Academy of Sciences, Leopoldina, hosted the “2nd National Conference on Infectious Disease Modeling”, which brought together over 150 national and international experts, including around 40 OptimAgent participants, in Halle (Saale) to further strengthen and expand modeling expertise in the fight against infectious diseases in Germany and beyond. The BMBF-funded Modeling Network for Severe Infectious Diseases (MONID), including OptimAgent,  reflects with gratification on three days of exciting panel discussions, intensive talks and presentations

At the 1st National Conference on Infectious Disease Modeling, more than 100 national and international scientists gathered for the first time in Berlin to jointly promote the strengthening of modeling competence in Germany. From March 15 to 17, 2023, over 100 modelers, including all OptimAgent partners, met at the Zuse Institute Berlin to present their projects at the 1st annual meeting of the Modeling Network for Severe Infectious Diseases (MONID). Furthermore, the scientists exchanged their

At the kick-off event, all scientists of the 13 involved institutions joined together for the first time in Halle to successfully launch the BMBF-funded modeling project. From 27 to 29 June 2022, more than 25 scientists met online and offline at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg to discuss the concrete implementation of the agent-based model being developed. The main focus of the kick-off event was to get to know each other, to present the six
