The 2nd International Workshop on Community-based Data Synthesis, Analysis and Modeling of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1 in Asia

May 31 – June 1, 2010, Beijing, China (Scientific Presentation/Discussion)

June 2 – 4, 2010, Qinghai Lake, Qinghai, China (Field Trip)

 

Background:

The first workshop was held in Bangkok, Thailand in June 15-17, 2009, which established a network for data sharing, exchange and synthesis in Asia. The 2ndworkshop, to be held in May 31 – June 4, 2010 in China, aims to initiate and facilitate epidemiological data analysis and modeling in Asia.

 

Objectives:

The objectives of the planned two workshops are twofold: (1) identify and assemble available geospatial datasets relevant to HPAI (H5N1) spread, and identify any major gaps in knowledge and data, which would inform and allow prioritization of future research and data collection activities; (2) facilitate capacity building for a network of researchers and institutions, and infrastructure for data synthesis, analysis and modeling.
