Participate
Abstract submission deadline: 20 June 2025
Abstracts are invited for talks and posters on the following topics:
Within-host dynamics and immuno-epidemiology
Evolution and phylodynamics in infectious diseases
Ecology, Climate and infectious diseases
Machine learning, AI and infectious diseases
Integration of new data streams in infectious disease surveillance and transmission models, including wastewater and genomic sequences
Dynamics and consequences of antimicrobial resistance
Policy, economic aspects, and decision support for control and prevention
Statistical approaches for infectious diseases (including calibration approaches for complex mechanistic models, methods for large-scale genomic analyses)
Social, spatial, behavioural and network aspects of interaction
Problems related to the "end game" of eradication
Zoonoses and other cross-species events
Multi-host and multi-pathogen/parasite systems
Forecasting and scenario projections
Problems in vaccine-preventable infections & vaccination strategy
Problems in neglected tropical macroparasitic diseases
You can submit as many abstracts to the conference for review as you would like.
If, after the review by the committee, you have more than one paper accepted for the conference, you will need to register to attend and pay an additional paper fee for each additional paper (i.e., for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th papers – not the 1st). Please note this is for papers that you are the presenting author of, not papers that you are co-author of.
Successfully submitted abstracts will be acknowledged with an electronic receipt including an abstract reference number, which should be quoted in all correspondence. Allow at least 2 hours for your receipt to be returned to you.
Once the paper is accepted, at least one of the authors must register for the conference and present the paper at the conference.
Abstracts of all accepted contributions will be included within the online abstract system which will be distributed to all registered conference participants.
For revisions or queries regarding papers already submitted
If you do not receive acknowledgement for your abstract submission or you wish to make any essential revisions to an abstract already submitted, please DO NOT RESUBMIT your abstract, as this may lead to duplication. Please contact the Conference Content Executive opens in new tab/window (Please do not email credit card information under any circumstances) with details of any revisions or queries. Please quote your reference number if you have one.
Special session proposals
As a trial, the organisers of the conference want to open the program to special sessions proposed by the community. The theme and format of the sessions is deliberately left open. We would, however, like to consider sessions that have the objective to add to the scientific contributions in the main program. We are therefore typically not looking for sessions of oral scientific contributions that could have been any of the regular sessions. One reason for this is that special sessions should add to the diversity of contributions. Another reason is that the main program only has room for slightly more than 100 oral contributions and selecting these from the more than 800 abstracts is through a careful blind and impartial process. In our view, it is undesirable to then have sessions of oral scientific contributions that are selected outside of this process. We would therefore like proposers to argue what makes their session ‘special’ in light of the main program of Epidemics and to the benefit of the infectious disease dynamics community.
We have provisionally made room for three such sessions as a trial. They will run in parallel and have a maximum length of 1.5 hours. They are scheduled around the lunch break on Thursday 2 December.
The deadline for submission of proposals is 20 April 2025.
All proposals will be reviewed by members of the Scientific Committee. A decision can be expected by 1 June 1 2025. It may be that the committee has suggestions for discussion with the proposers.
Authors wishing to submit a special session to Epidemics 10, should use the format below and submit their proposal to [email protected] opens in new tab/window.

EPIDEMICS 10 is partnering with SSRN
Widen the reach of your work beyond the conference to an even broader audience.
If your research is accepted for presentation at the conference, authors can choose to include their abstract (and poster PDF if presented as a poster) within the pre-print service SSRN.
This is open access, has a DOI and has no publishing charges for presenters at Elsevier Conferences!
SSRN
SSRN is an open access research platform used to share early-stage research, evolve ideas, measure results, and connect scholars around the world. With over 2.5 million registered users, the potential is there for your research to reach millions of SSRN viewers and subscribers around the world.
SSRN hosts conference proceedings within our library using our Proceedings Hosting solution. SSRN helps extend the reach of the papers within the proceedings, the conference event and the accepted/invited authors by hosting and distributing proceedings through our global, interdisciplinary platform. Conference proceedings on SSRN are displayed on a permanent, logo-branded page and are freely accessible to all users.
SSRN does not take copyright or exclusive rights so there are no license transfer forms for authors to fill out and authors/copyright holders are free to publish/reuse the work elsewhere without restriction from SSRN.
SSRN helps increase and measure the impact and reach of papers, including proceedings papers, in multiple other ways:
SSRN aggregates the total downloads for all papers included in a conference proceedings.
SSRN provides article level metrics which include total abstract views, downloads, and citations.
SSRN is integrated with PlumX Metrics to provide article-level information on the impact and usage of papers on SSRN, including citations, social media, news and other mentions, and more.
Second, eligible submissions are submitted to Crossref to receive an SSRN DOI which ensures the author can stake their claim in their work very early in the sharing process.
Third, Google and other search engines crawl SSRN, so papers do appear in search results for Google, Google Scholar, etc.
Lastly, all papers on SSRN are evaluated for distribution and posting in up to 12 of our "Subject Matter eJournals" which registered SSRN users subscribe to in order to receive email alerts containing the latest uploaded papers in their field(s) of interest.
