AICE members receives 1.25 million euro over 5 years for promoting interdiciplinary study of emotions. The priority area is called Real Emotions.

Over the past few decades, major advances have been made in research on emotions and how they influence daily life. However, this progress is currently being hampered by two key problems. Psychological research is often conducted in artificial laboratory environments with highly controlled stimuli. Another issue is the generalisability of the insights stemming from anthropology, communication science, pedagogical and education sciences, political science, sociology and other social sciences. Real Emotion aims to advance the state-of-the-art by promoting interdisciplinary research to study emotions as they occur in real life.

Congratulations to Disa, Milica, and Don!
