IDDconf 2025 is the fifth instalment of a meeting series focussing on innovative research in infectious disease dynamics. Our aim is to provide a fairly small (~100), community-driven conference, to improve interaction between infectious disease modellers. We want a forum for modellers to present up to date work, stimulate discussion, and build collaborations. We are completely transparent about decision-making, and as many of these decisions as possible (such as talk selection) are done randomly. Last year we gave away leftover wine using a live random number selection in R!

IDDconf is organised by the Juniper Partnership. Organisation is led by Roz Eggo, with Julia Gog (Cambridge), Nick Davies, Graham Medley, and Jon Read (Lancaster) on the organisation team. The conference is run by The University of Cambridge but there is no particular focus on Cambridge at the conference. For more information about the event please see the conference website: https://iddconf.org/ and follow @IDDconf on Bluesky for updates.

For any questions or queries regarding content, please email contact@iddconf.org, and in relation to logistics, organisation, or dietary requirements, contact juniper@maths.cam.ac.uk (with IDDconf in the subject line).

University of Cambridge students and staff, whose department will be covering their participation cost, can pay the above amounts via internal transfer. Please liaise with your finance team to arrange an internal cross-charge via PO.
