The core training program will cover various topics and will be adapted to each implementation to address specific health questions, define case studies and projects depending on the available data of the host country. The training program will be prepared jointly with a scientific committee and the lecturers. Hereafter are the main topics associated with time load for the first school that should be detailed as a curriculum to meet the training objectives.
Mathematics for modelers I
Python/R for modelers I
Statistics and statistic modeling for decision making in health
Health economics
Mathematical modeling of infectious diseases
Introduction to agent and spatial modeling
