ENTRVST Special Technical Webinar
Dynamic modelling in animal health decision-making
Virtual Event, 13/05/2025

Join us for a special technical webinar that highlights the role of dynamic modeling in decision-making for animal health.
In collaboration with City University of Hong Kong, the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment (INRAE), and EPI-Interactive, this webinar will explore how modeling can guide policy decisions for infectious disease control—an increasingly important area since the onset of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
The webinar will:
- Provide a practical overview of dynamic modeling in animal health policy
- Introduce Epidemix, a user-friendly app that allows exploration of disease dynamics without complex equations
- Offer insights from leading experts along with a hands-on demo
