Deploying in Antarctica

2023-02-01

The wearable proximity sensors of the SocioPatterns collaborations have been deployed at the Concordia Base, the French-Italian research station in Antarctica. Data from the sensors will be used to quantify social interactions networks in the context of a series of studies on team performance and health duering long-term isolation. This is a collaboration with the University of Bern (Prof. Andrea Cantisani), ETH Zurich (Prof. Jan Schmutz), and the Universidade Lusófona (Prof. Pedro Marques-Quinteiro).
