Following the very successful 11th ICOM in London, we proudly hosted the 12th International Conference on Multimodality at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. 

The theme was "The Multimodal Multiverse!". The field of multimodality is diverse and colourful, with plenty of research methods, approaches, and areas of interest. All share a common interest: meaning and its creation in communicative situations. In Groningen, we want to acknowledge this unity in diversity.

We aimed to find and underline a common ground and potential connection points between subfields or areas, build bridges between disciplines, and initiate new connections and collaborations. During our three-day conference, we offered the opportunity to learn from each other’s research and connect during several networking events.

Thank you for joining us in exploring this Multiverse and its many connections!
