The International Consortium of Modellers (CoMo International) is a living network of researchers. CoMo uses a participatory approach to provide decision-making support to policymakers, using evidence from epidemiological and economic models adapted to each country’s context.

Research highlights:
Heterologous vaccination interventions to reduce pandemic morbidity and mortality: Modeling the US winter 2020 COVID-19 wave - PNAS
Modelling the COVID-19 pandemic in context: an international participatory approach - BMJ Global Health
Potential health and economic impacts of dexamethasone treatment for patients with COVID-19 - Nature Communications
Potential global impacts of alternative dosing regimen and rollout options for the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine - Nature Communications
Facilitating a direct link between the experts involved in developing the models and interpreting their outputs, the local in-country experts, and the policymakers in each country.
Writing, coding, debugging and updating the primary model structure.
Creation of a web-based interface that enables non-modellers to run the models, based on their local parameters.
Conducting modelling to assess the economic costs and impacts arising from an intervention or a suite of interventions.
Combining scientific evidence relating to the Covid-19 pandemic with model projections, economics and financing to create evidence-based policy briefs.
Engaging in-country experts and policymakers who are seeking additional modelling support to deal with their specific Covid-19 situation.
