This method is particularly useful for exploring complex scenarios in heterogeneous populations and assessing the effectiveness of public health interventions, providing valuable insights for disease control and management.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will outline the key concepts of agent-based modeling in the context of infectious diseases, highlight challenges including building a synthetic population and data acquisition, explain the modeling of (non-pharmaceutical) interventions, and discuss how to make large models fast.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The course will be offered by lecturers from the MONID network and other external partners. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Detailed information on course objectives, main topics and the software used can be found in the <a href=\"https:\/\/monid.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Flyer_MONIDSummerSchool2024_final-2.pdf\">flyer<\/a> or on our <a href=\"https:\/\/monid.net\/en\/__summer-school-2024\/\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photo \u00a9 Universit\u00e4tsmedizin Halle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What?
