Infectious Disease Modelling and Health Economic Evaluation of Vaccines

September 2, 2019 - September 6, 2019

Who should attend?
People who have an interest in quantitative research, and
who want to learn about infectious disease modelling and
health economic evaluation e.g., health economists,
(bio)statisticians and mathematicians who want to expand
their toolbox, as well as health science professionals and
