VIRTUES Virtual Immersion Research for Tolerance and Unity in European Societies

Our research network

VIRTUES stands for Virtual Immersion Research for Tolerance and Unity in European Societies and was founded as an interdisciplinary network connecting researchers utilizing immersive technologies – to address challenges posed by these technologies together and to open new pathways for research, interventions and understanding immersive technology.
