Virtual Workshop
Monday 6 April 2020
The COVID19 pandemic dominates private and public thinking almost all around the world. Its impact on society, economic prosperity and overall subjective well-being is enormous. Important public health questions for Germany need to be answered soon: should restrictions on social contact be prolonged, lightened or tightened?
Talks at this scientific workshop will present model based analyses of COVID19 in Germany. The models can be of a mathematic, statistic or computer based nature. One explicit goal of the workshop is to understand and discuss modelling assumptions in a cooperative manner across disciplines.
Talks will last for 30 to 60 minutes. There will be ample time for discussion and exchange of ideas. One outcome of this workshop could consist in predicting the future spread of COVID19 in Germany. The workshop is scheduled from 10 am to 4 pm. The program will be announced soon.
Please contact one of the organisers if you are interested in this workshop (talks, discussion, participation).
