New ERC Grant 🎉 

Assistant Professor Jens Emil Grønbæk has been awarded a Starting Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) for his project “BRIDGE – Blending Realities for Interaction across Distributed Group Environments”.

BRIDGE will pioneer “Blended Proxemics” – a new framework for mixed reality (MR) collaboration that allows people in different physical spaces to work as if side-by-side, while extending their social interactions with new virtual capabilities. By combining conceptual theory, new adaptive MR interfaces, and a Blended Living Lab for real-world testing, the project aims to make hybrid collaboration more creative, spatially engaging, and sustainable. 

This award highlights the excellence of Jens Emil’s research in Human-Computer Interaction.
