Epidemics 5 will bring together international delegates for three days of intense dialogue on ideas, data, insight, models and methods in the field of infectious disease dynamics. Invited plenary speakers will lead a topical programme supplemented by around 80 contributed oral presentations and lively and stimulating poster sessions. A short course "Using genomic data to uncover the dynamics of infectious diseases [6]" will take place on December 1, in advance of the main conference.
