The worldwide pandemic involving COVID-19 is a growing global concern and has produced unprecedented challenges around the world. Currently, there are many challenges on mitigation and control of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. This China-Canada Symposium on Modelling, Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases aims to understand the world-wide challenges and cutting-edge developments, to learn the lessons and to share the timely research findings and experiences. This Tianyuan symposium will advance the interdisciplinary research of mathematics and public health, and provide basis and support for the decision-making on the prevention and control of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. It will also provide an excellent opportunity for young researchers and students from China and Canada to interact with our leading active modelers and public health personnel and to learn hands-on research experience on modelling and control of infectious diseases. This China-Canada symposium is jointly organized by Center for Mathematical Bioscience (CMB), Chinese Society of Mathematical Biology (CSMB), and Canadian Centre for Disease Modelling (CDM). The symposium is supported by Tianyuan Mathematics Exchange Project of National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC).
