This in-person two-day workshop will convene scientists, engineers, public health experts, and military game designers to envision the application of simulation gaming to advance global preparedness for uncertain pathogen threats. We will survey the state-of-the art in gaming science and explore the development of simulation-based games that:

• improve individual and collaborative decision making in the face of uncertain pathogen threats

• enable the design of robust pathogen-related threat surveillance, prevention and response systems

• elucidate cognitive and behavioral processes that drive human responses to pathogen threats.

Through a combination of expert panels and provocative breakout discussions, we aim to articulate a 5-10 year research agenda for advancing the art and science of simulation gaming for global threat resilience.
