International collaborations

- UNTREF (Buenos Aires, Argentina): Studies on transmodality in VR (effect of seasons, feeling of presence and immersion on musical emotions with a sample composed of French and Argentinians). The work is mainly carried out with the Argentine researcher Bruno MESZ (UNTREF). Jean-Christophe SAKDAVONG was invited 3 times to work at UNTREF in Buenos Aires

- University of Turku (Finland): Development of a mixed reality prototype for taste experiences with the University of Turku (Finland). The person responsible was Professor Anu Hopia from the University of Turku. Jean-Christophe SAKDAVONG was invited twice in November and December 2020 in Turku. The project has been completed since 2021.

- CONICET/UCA/UBA/Universidad Torcuato di Tella (Buenos Aires, Argentina): Studies on transmodality in mixed reality (effect of the shape and colors of a virtual environment and of food on taste perceptions). This work is part of Mariela Guberman's (UCA) thesis on the design of "healthy" snacks. The work is mainly carried out with the Argentine researcher Mara Galmarini (Conicet, UCA) who is the thesis director of Mariela Guberman (INTA-CONICET). Jean-Christophe SAKDAVONG was invited many times for several weeks to work with the 4 argentinian partners.

- SCWC Barcelona (Spain): Participation in the organization of the congress and experiments on transmodality (emotions on taste perceptions) which take place during the congress each year in November.
