The coordination office

The Coordination Office of the Modeling Network for Serious Infectious Diseases (MONID) consists of its management team, the scientific coordinators, an IT team and the project managers. It brings together an interdisciplinary staff from the fields of infectious disease epidemiology, health economics, data science, computer science, informatics and project management with many years of experience in complex modeling projects, both national and international. The Coordination Office team also acts as the first point of contact for organizational and scientific inquiries, for example, from politics or the healthcare sector. Such inquiries will be addressed in cooperation with the Steering Group and the participating research consortia. The coordination office supports the work of the consortia on five levels:

1. Promotion of interdisciplinary scientific exchange among the consortia and with external experts
2. Establishment and harmonization of common structures for data sharing
3. Promotion and publication of network activities and research results
4. Organization and realization of interdisciplinary events such as workshops, summer schools or conferences
5. Development of joint teaching programs for young researchers
