GEOMED2024
GEOMED is an international, interdisciplinary conference on
spatial statistics, geographical epidemiology and public health.
CONFERENCE
INFORMATION
Bi-annual international meeting on spatial epidemiology
The conference focuses both on the developments in methodology and the applications of methods for spatial and spatio-temporal data in public health. The growth in availability of spatially references data of both infectious and non-infectious diseases is increasing the demand for spatial and spatio-temporal analyses. Both GIS technology and spatial statistics are fundamental in the analysis of this data, and the field’s methods are quickly expanding.
