Sir Charles Wilson Building, University of Glasgow
The UKRI One Health Computational Network (OHCN) was established to bring together experts working on preparedness research to better predict, detect, understand and prevent emerging viral diseases. Advances in computational methods, in particular artificial intelligence, are providing significant opportunities to enhance our view of the emerging infectious diseases that pose a significant threat to the health and wellbeing of the UK population. At this symposium, representatives of OHCN, and other invited expert participants will present their research on different computational aspects of preparedness research. Our collective aim is to facilitate the interdisciplinary use of computational science for public health, veterinary science and agricultural resilience.
Event costs: General Admission – £80. Student Admission – £40. We are offering a discounted ticket price of £50 for attendees of the UKPSN event on 23rd April. The combined price for both days is £150. Tickets must be purchased separately through the relevant Eventbrite link .
