To this purpose, Post Doc, PhD Students and young researchers are warmly invited to present studies concerning the topics of the Project.

Also young researchers working on SSP outside the Network may apply, though priority is given to SSPNet members.

-          Social signals processing

-          Social psychology

-          Multimodal signals of agreement and disagreement, dominance and politeness

-          Multimodal human behaviour analysis and synthesis
