This workshop aims to present recent investigations related to mathematical modeling of COVID-19 spread and impacts, and to foster the use of data assimilation techniques in future studies. It also aims to facilitate interactions and discussions among researchers from different fields such as epidemiology, economics, and mathematics. This workshop is jointly hosted by RIKEN Data Assimilation Research Team and by Nagoya University Graduate School of Mathematics, and supported by FY2021 RIKEN President's Discretionary Funds for COVID-19. A hybrid meeting is planned, but depending on the situation, an online version will be organized. Young researchers and students are encouraged to attend.
