RITMO's annual report is out! Have a look at what we did in 2025 🥳

Annual Report 2025 - RITMO Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Rhythm, Time and Motion RITMO is now entering its last phase. Many doctoral and postdoctoral fellows are approaching the end of their projects, so there are many analyses to complete, datasets to prepare for archiving, and manuscripts in preparation. At the same time, several new projects have been funded, so the RITMO spi...
