Banner that reads ENTRVST Special Technical Webinar: Dynamic modelling in animal health decision-making.

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
