Understanding how infections or information propagate through populations, or more gen- erally, through complex networks embedded in space, is a central challenge of the modern world. This workshop brings together both established experts and early-career researchers working on mathematical approaches to information and infection spread in random environments.

The program will feature a mini-course by Alexandre Stauffer, complemented by invited research talks from other participants.

The workshop starts Monday morning, July 6th, and ends on Wednesday, July 8th, in the late afternoon.

Mini course:

Alexandre Stauffer (King's College)
