In this article, we propose a heat transfer framework for how human-to-human interaction spreads everything on the landscape: disease, goods, knowledge, news, technology, science, language and culture.

Pandemic Influenza: Just-In-Time vs. Just-In-Case Strategies

Online Facilitated workshops during COVID: Our experience

Date: 11 January 2022, 16.00 - 17.00 (London)

About the Event

This talk provides an overview of our experience of participative problem structuring in the synchronous online workshop environment. In 2020, due to the outbreak of the Covid19 pandemic and government-posed restrictions, where possible many organisations moved to remote working. This rendered all face to face workshops and meetings a health hazard. It has meant that we had to adapt our facilitation practice to support stakeholder groups in the online environment. At the time, many organizations needed to make crucial decisions in remote environments but lacked the expertise to manage the process and interactions in an effective way. We discuss our experience as facilitators in working with organizations involving key workers in the online environment. Based on our experience we offer guidance to those interested in transitioning to online facilitation.

Frequency of Adverse Events in the Placebo Arms of COVID-19 Vaccine Trials: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Reflections on OR and Controlling a Pandemic

Topic

The Health Applications Society presents - Reflections on OR and Controlling a Pandemic

Description: Many operations researchers have studied various issues concerned with controlling the COVID-19 pandemic (and, hopefully not too soon, , future pandemics). This talk will discuss some of the areas in which OR has been applied such as forecasting and pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical mitigation measures. The discussion will consider the relative impact of these efforts and lessons for future research.

Time: Jan 28, 2022 01:00 PM in [Eastern Time (US and Canada)]
