TIL – Open Workshops

Toruń Interaction Lab (TIL) operates as one of five teams within IDUB’s Priority Research Area “Interfaces of Human Experience: Communication, Cognition, Culture, Wellbeing”. The team conducts and supports research on communication and interaction, with a particular focus on translating research findings into practice. The modern research equipment used by TIL scientists in their work enables them to obtain a complete picture of authentic communication that engages multiple senses simultaneously.

The event will feature a presentation of the Toruń Interaction Lab research environment, including the available equipment and its research capabilities. Speakers will discuss how these resources can be utilised in projects related to communication, interaction, behaviour, and human experience. The goal of the meeting is to showcase the lab’s scientific potential and encourage collaboration among those with research ideas who would like to pursue them with the TIL team.

The meeting is open to all university staff, doctoral students, and undergraduates; however, due to logistical reasons, advance registration is required.
