The monthly Interaction Meetings provide an informal meeting ground for the community of Nijmegen researchers working at the intersection of language and social interaction. The interdisciplinary meetings feature researchers from all across campus, with participants from the Centre for Language Studies, Donders Institute, and Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics. The meetings are sponsored by the Elementary Particles of Conversation project.
