The AARMS-EIDM Summer School will take place at Bonne Bay Marine Station, located in Norris Point on the west coast of Newfoundland. This year's theme is Emerging Infectious Diseases Modelling. Two graduate-level mathematics courses will be offered from August 19 to 31, 2023:
Participants will take both courses and receive a grade and certificate of completion that may be used to transfer credit to the home institution.
A prerequisite problem set will be assigned to be submitted by August 19. This problem set will cover preliminaries in dynamical systems, epidemiology, and modelling.
From August 20 to 30, 7 hours of work are planned to occur at Bonne Bay Marine Station. Participants should capitalize on being together in one location to work efficiently on projects.
