The 13th International Conference on Multimodality (13ICOM) will be
organised at the University of Helsinki, Finland, in June 2027.
The phenomenon of multimodality – or how communication and interaction
build on coordinated combinations of multiple forms of expression – is
now actively researched within diverse fields of study. Given the
multifaceted nature and complexity of the phenomenon, pursuing a
constructive dialogue between different approaches to multimodality is
essential for moving towards a shared understanding. This is the main
theme of the 13th International Conference on Multimodality (13ICOM),
which celebrates the 25th anniversary of organising the first
conference in the series in Salzburg, Austria in 2002.
For 13ICOM, we want to specifically emphasise the role of early-career
researchers working on diverse aspects of multimodality by organising
a doctoral consortium on June 1, 2027 ahead of the main conference on
June 2–4, 2027.
The doctoral consortium features 5-minute pitch talks from
participants and master classes in theories and methods from experts,
with plenty of opportunities for networking with fellow early-career
researchers.
The main conference will feature four plenary sessions and multiple
parallel sessions with 20-minute presentations.
The confirmed plenarists for 13ICOM include (in alphabetical order)
Pentti Haddington (University of Oulu, Finland), Maria Grazia Sindoni
(University of Messina, Italy), Beate Schirrmacher (Linnaeus
University, Sweden) and Amanda Wasielewski (Uppsala University,
Sweden).
