Improved ICT techniques and methodologies support the inter-linkage and integration
of datasets causing a qualitative change in the ways we can model epidemic
processes. The EPIWORK project proposes a multidisciplinary research
effort aimed at developing the appropriate framework of tools and knowledge
needed for the design of epidemic forecast infrastructures. The research considers
most of the much-needed development of modelling, computational and
ICT tools.
We have focused on two specific project deliverables:
1. Models of disease transmission under seasonality and other external drivers;
2. Models of spread, impact and evolution of vector-borne pathogens, including
the demography and ecology of host species.
