The Scientific Days of the Coordinated Action "Modelling of Infectious Diseases" of ANRS|MIE are an annual meeting dedicated to the modelling of infectious diseases. The 2024 edition will take place on 13-15 November 2024 at EHESP, in Rennes. The first day will be reserved for the young researchers of the Coordinated Action; the general meeting will begin in the morning on the 14th and end around 1:00pm on the 15th, with the afternoon of the 15th reserved for a meeting of the Coordinated Action scientific committee. It will be possible to attend the presentations on November 14-15 online.

The event is primarily aimed at members of the Coordinated Action and their groups. It is also open to researchers working on the themes covered during the meeting, including models of epidemic population dynamics, epidemic emergence, quantitative epidemiology, intra-host modelling, and models of viral evolution and phylodynamics. Registration is free but mandatory, and will be completed by filling in the form behind the "Registration" tab. Please note that, at this stage, registration to attend the meeting online is the same as registration to attend in person.

The meeting will take place in the main building of the EHESP located at 15 avenue du Pr. Léon-Bernard in Rennes, in the Simone Veil amphitheater.
