MONID_Modellierungsnetz

The Modeling Network for Severe Infectious Diseases (MONID) is a research network funded since May 2022 by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF, since 2025 Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space, BMFTR for short) with the aim of strengthening the interdisciplinary exchange of leading scientists from the relevant fields. MONID is the direct point of contact for inquiries from politicians, especially with regard to the pandemic situation. In addition, the network is particularly committed to the promotion of young scientists and methodological training in order to sustainably strengthen modeling expertise in Germany. The MONID network currently consists of seven affiliated and three associated research networks. The overarching coordination office is based at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg.
