The international scientific conference dedicated to modelling in animal health

We are pleased to announce a new edition of the Modelling in Animal Health conference (ModAH), which will take place from 25th to 27th August 2026 in Nantes, France. Building on the success of the previous editions, ModAH will once again bring together researchers, students, stakeholders and decision-makers interested in quantitative approaches to animal health.

ModAH is an international scientific conference dedicated to modelling in animal health, spanning a broad range of topics such as infectious disease dynamics, surveillance and early detection, risk assessment, impact evaluation of control strategies, and links with public health and One Health. The conference aims to provide a stimulating environment to present cutting-edge research, discuss methodological advances and foster new collaborations.

In conjunction with the conference, a specific event dedicated to the ModAH Hub network will be organised before the conference (25th morning). This satellite event will provide a forum for ModAH Hub members and partners to exchange on ongoing initiatives, share resources and tools, and discuss future joint activities to strengthen the international community of modellers in animal health.

The conference will also provide an opportunity for participants in the HPAI modeling challenge to meet and exchange feedback during a dedicated workshop on the afternoon of August 27 and the morning of August 28.

The conference will be held in Nantes, a dynamic city in western France with excellent transport connections and a rich scientific and cultural environment. The conference will take place at ENSA (National School of Architecture) in Nantes. Abstract submission is open from 14th March until 5th May 2026. Registration will open from 17th April to 31st July 2026. The program and keynote speakers will be announced shortly.

We look forward to welcoming you to Nantes for this new edition of ModAH Conference!
