Mission statement

the Antwerp Social Lab is a core facility of the University of Antwerp that brings together research infrastructure and expertise in an overarching unit. It is the home for all researchers from the university and beyond, studying the physiological and behavioural responses in a mediated and interpersonal context.

the Antwerp Social Lab actively stimulates discussion and sharing of knowledge on psychophysiological and behavioral methods through regular lab meetings. The Antwerp Social Lab is also dedicated to education and aims to showcase the measurement instruments and train students to use these in their own research projects. The Antwerp Social Lab is open for all sorts of collaborations and welcomes visiting scholars.

The Antwerp Social Lab was founded by two research groups (MIOS and EDUBRON), and is currently directed by three professors:

  • Karolien Poels (MIOS)
  • Piet Van den Bossche (EDUBRON)
  • David Gijbels (EDUBRON).
