Measles is preventable with two doses of measles vaccine; yet more than 22 million children missed their first dose of measles vaccine in 2023. Globally, an estimated 83% of children received their first dose of measles vaccine last year, while only 74% received the recommended second dose.
More than 10 million people globally were infected with measles in 2023
Measles cases continue to surge globally, putting millions of children at risk.
More than 10 million people globally were infected with measles in 2023, a 20% increase from the previous year.

Hybrid participation is available, along with travel grants for eligible attendees. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn and network. ✅
The workshop will include interactive sessions, a demo of the toolkit, and lightning talks. You’ll have a chance to connect with experts and enhance your modelling skills. ⚡
Explore innovations like:
- Automatic differentiation for odin and monty models
- Efficient parallel simulation engines
- Modular approaches to inference with HMC and Parallel Tempering samplers
Discover the cutting-edge R-based odin-monty toolkit - designed to bring together streamlined modelling, advanced sampling solutions, and robust statistical integration.
Exciting news for the modelling community! Join us at the odin-monty Workshop, taking place on 24–25 March 2025 at Imperial College London’s White City campus. 🌟 @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social
Lots of studies in epidemiology rely on people being able to assess age of others - please participate in this survey to help get better error models for such data!

odin and monty are exciting new tools - a DSL for ODE based models and an MCMC sampler (includes Metropolis-Hastings and HMC) written in R and compiled to C for performance. Very user friendly compared to other options out there imo!
Join us at the Odin-Monty Workshop, 24–25 March 2025, hosted at Imperial College London (White City campus) and online!
Travel grants are available, and registration closes on 19 February. Don’t miss your chance to shape the future of odin! #OdinMonty #Workshop #ModelingCommunity
