The SpatioEpi group conducts research on the epidemiology of infectious diseases and related conditions in a spatial context. To promote scientific exchanges, research outputs are published in journals and books, and presented in meetings and conferences. Training activities have also been developed to contribute to capacity building in epidemiology.
