Conferences will take place subject to health conditions linked to the Coronovirus epidemic (COVID-19) and in compliance with the safety instructions in force at the venue hosting the event.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The Covid 19 pandemic demonstrated the importance of epidemiological models, simplified mathematical representations of real phenomena. How is a scientific model developed? How much can it be trusted? These questions are illustrated by the simplest of epidemiological models, the SIR (Sain Infecté Remis) model, used to think rationally about the pandemic episode and thwart misinformation. Incidentally, the same model also describes the extraction of a non-renewable resource, providing insights into our society's energy future.
