Multiscale Social Dynamics in Individuals and Groups' (MDIG2026) at
MindLabs, Tilburg, NL - 13-17 July 2026

Host Institution: Tilburg University
Coordinating Institution: Tilburg University
Website: https://envisionbox.org/images/MDIG_6-3-2026.png

Dates: 13-Jul-2026 - 17-Jul-2026
Location: Mindlabs, Tilburg University (Tilburg City Center), The
Netherlands, Netherlands

Minimum Education Level: From undergraduates to tenured faculty

Focus: Multimodal, Multiscale, Physiology, Coordination, Communication
Description:
You can register here for a 5-day in-person summer school at Tilburg
University, Research Center for Cognitive Science and Artificial
Intelligence, from July 13th-17th (monday to friday), with the theme
Multiscale Social Dynamics in Individuals and Groups (MDIG2026). This
summer school supported by EnvisionBox.org will feature hands-on
tutorials on analysis pipelines from computer science and complexity
science, including methods for motion tracking, kinematic and acoustic
analysis, empirical mode decomposition, windowed multiscale synchrony
analysis, and related approaches. Rather than focusing on a single
modality, we will cover several aspects of multimodal communication,
including visual, prosodic, and movement-based signals, and examine
how these interact across multiple temporal and spatial scales. One
dedicated day will focus on methods for data management, masking and
anonymizing audiovisual data to ensure privacy protection and GDPR
compliance. In addition, participants will work in groups on applied
projects throughout the week, culminating in presentations of project
progress at the end of the summer school. The goal of the summer
school is twofold: first, to familiarize participants with
state-of-the-art tools, open solutions, and datasets for multiscale
social signal analysis, and second, to critically examine their
limitations. By the end of the week, participants will have gained
practical skills, new analytical tools, and a deeper understanding of
how these methods can be improved to advance research in multimodal
behavioral dynamics.
Tuition: 125 EUR
Tuition Explanation: We also have some travel grants.
