🎓✨ Day 5 The morning opened with the group project presentations, masterfully guided by Ilja Van Beest. The day continued with a session featuring Alessandra Sciutti and Emily Cross, both recipients of the prestigious ERC grants. Our week comes to a close. See you next time

🧠💻 DAY 4 | Designing Interventions for Digital Well-being Today we welcomed Maria Teresa Graffeo, Claudia Marino, Elisa Wegmann, Gianluca Esposito. The day focused on how to understand and address problematic social media use and emerging forms of technological addiction.

Day 3 | @dongning_ren helped us reflect on the importance of framing research questions clearly before even looking at data. Marco Ciapparelli and Davide Marengo explored the promises and limits of using generative AI tools for tasks such as idea generation and item construction.

Day 2 – What makes a robot feel social? Can machines spark empathy, trust—or even discomfort—through looks & movement? Today we explored anthropomorphism in social robotics with brilliant talks from Alessandra Sciutti, Nathan Caruana & Emily S. Cross.

📣 The Summer School has officially started! ☀️🎓 The first day was dedicated to “Connecting and Disconnecting through Digital Technologies”. A special thanks to our speakers: Ilja van Beest, Sarah Lutz, Marco Marinucci, and Francesca Cocchella.
