Realising the need to demonstrate application of dynamical systems in real life situations and to expose the participants to mathematical skills of formulating complex dynamical models for biological and technical systems gave birth to this school. The need motivated our desire to give our postgraduate students skills in mathematical modelling and analysis of complex dynamic models.

Epidemics have invaded populations throughout history threatening the existence of humankind. Todays world continues to be confronted by endemic, emerging, and reemerging infectious disease outbreaks. These threats differ widely in terms of severity and extent, with varying consequences on morbidity and mortality, as well as for a complex set of social and economic effects.
