## Description

EpiForecasts is a research group located at the Centre for Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. Specializing in real-time modeling and forecasting of infectious disease dynamics, EpiForecasts develops innovative methodologies and tools designed to enhance predictive capabilities in outbreak scenarios. Their approach systematically evaluates these methods by assessing their predictive accuracy, which aids in refining decision-making processes in public health. 

Funded primarily by the Wellcome Trust, EpiForecasts collaborates with various research organizations, public health agencies like the European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, and non-governmental entities, including Médecins Sans Frontières. By focusing on robust methodologies, the group aims to optimize resource utilization and provide actionable insights for outbreak response, control, and prevention. Their commitment to making these tools available to others influences global public health strategies and strengthens efforts against infectious diseases.
