2025 INGRoup Conference Details

CONFERENCE REGISTRATION

Registration is open! Please use the following link to register for the 2025 conference: ingroup.net/2025Registration

*Please note: If you would like to take advantage of member prices, be sure to sign up for or renew your INGRoup membership BEFORE registering for the conference.

To check your membership status, please sign in using the "Member Login" button in the top-right of the page. To become an INGRoup member, please click on the "Membership" tab and click "Become a Member of INGRoup!"

For questions about conference registration, please contact Anita Blanchard, Vice President, Conference Coordinator, at anita.blanchard@uncc.edu.

For questions about your membership status, please contact Joe Allen, Vice President, Association, at joseph.a.allen@utah.edu.


Note: For those familiar with INGRoup's past use of a tiered registration fee system, an analysis of that system showed it was not useful, thus this year's single set of registration fees reflects current costs.

REGISTRATION FEES

Faculty/Professional Member: $595
Student Member: $325
Faculty Advanced*: $695
Non-member: $745

In an effort to encourage an environment where newer and more senior attendees can interact with one another, your registration fee includes the following: 

• A catered Poster Reception on Thursday evening
• Dinner on Thursday evening
• A Student Reception following the Thursday dinner
• Lunch on Friday
• A catered event at Wereldmuseum on Friday evening
• Lunch on Saturday
• Coffee breaks throughout each day

*Faculty Advanced provides an option for faculty and professional members to pay a slightly increased rate as a donation to INGRoup.

Additionally, to facilitate conference participation for new parents, lactation facilities are available at the conference venue.

PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS

MORNING WORKSHOPS:

Thursday, July 17, 2025
9:00am - 12:00pm
Facilitators:  Nadine Bienefeld, ETH Zurich; Margarete Boos, University of Göttingen; Josette Gevers, Eindhoven University of Technology; Maike Isaac, University of Bern; Juliane Kämmer, University of Bern; Sandra Keller, University of Bern; Pedro Marques-Quinteiro, Lusophone University of Humanities and Technologies; Lara Morscheck, University of Bern; Julia Seelandt, University Hospital Zurich; & Travis Wiltshire, University of Tilburg

Understanding and improving teamwork is crucial across various domains, from healthcare to extreme environments. This workshop brings together experts who investigate teams through diverse methodological lenses. Through interactive discussions and hands-on analyses, including experts in several domains, attendees will expand their methodological toolkit, explore innovative approaches to team research, and connect with a diverse academic network. 

This workshop aims to stimulate the use of a greater variety of research methods in team studies. Participants will gain insights into: case analyses of extreme teams, how to deal with small samples and rich multimethod data, possibilities and limitations of conducting behavioural observations of human-AI teams in the ICU, how to conduct large-scale intervention and evaluation studies in OR teams, what to consider when using biomarkers and computational approaches to study coordination in action teams, how to conduct an ethnographic study and obtain thick descriptions of emergency teams, and methods for observing team processes in medical teams in simulation settings. 

Following an introduction to different perspectives in team research, participants will join expert-led subgroups. These discussions will deepen their understanding of distinct research approaches and provide an opportunity to ask questions. Beyond gaining methodological insights, this workshop fosters networking with leading experts and fellow researchers, potentially sparking future collaborations. Although participants at all career stages will benefit from this workshop, doctoral and postdoctoral researchers may have particular interest in attending. 

SESSION B: The Teamwork Revolution: Co-Designing the Future of How We Teach, Learn, and Work Together
Thursday, July 17, 2025
9:00am - 12:00pm
Facilitators: Martijn Van der Kamp, Monash Business School & Kyle Christensen, Clemson University

This co-design workshop explores a pressing question: How can we enhance the student and educator experience of teamwork as a job-ready skill in higher education? Teamwork is a powerful driver of transformative learning, a space for diversity, inclusion and belonging, and a critical competency for professional success. Yet, students and educators alike struggle with it. In this interactive workshop, we will leverage teamwork, co-design, and futures thinking to diagnose key issues, reimagine approaches to teamwork education, and explore INGroup’s role in shaping this transformation. Through collaborative exercises, participants will identify key challenges, generate innovative strategies, share best practices, and gain practical tools to enhance teamwork education in their contexts. 

This workshop seeks to: (a) Identify key challenges in teamwork education across disciplines and learning environments, (b) Generate innovative, evidence-based strategies to enhance teamwork education, (c) Define actionable steps for integrating teamwork education into curricula and institutional policies (d) capture insights to inform future INGroup initiatives and research.  

It is anticipated that the workship will produce several outputs, including thematic maps of challenges in teamwork education, co-designed strategies and innovations related to teaching about teams. It is also intended that, through this workshop, the facilitators will create a synthesis document capturing insights for INGroup’s future work involving teaching. 

Join us in shaping the future of teamwork education—one that better prepares students, supports educators, and strengthens the link between higher education and professional practice. 

AFTERNOON WORKSHOPS:

SESSION C: Develop an Example Computational Process Model to Study Teamwork With R and RStudio
Thursday, July 17, 2025
1:00pm - 4:00pm
Facilitator: Goran Kuljanin, DePaul University

Computational process models are an emerging tool with great value for understanding teamwork processes. The present workshop will guide attendees who are interested in learning to program a computational process model to study teamwork. The general goal is to provide an “end-to-end” experience for workshop attendees on how to develop a computational process model, and will be suited for a range of attendees; including those with advances understanding of the use of R, alongside those who are relative newcomers to coding. The workshop will draw upon recent publications involving computational modeling (see below). 

The workshop will be an active learning experience. It will include: (a) learning about the differences between narrative construct theories versus computational process theories, (b) an overview of the general steps involved in developing computational process models, (c) using R and RStudio to demonstrate how to program a computational process model to study teamwork, (d) learning about how to execute a virtual experiment with the computational process model. 

The workshop includes access to the completed code to facilitate assistance with coding errors attendees may generate as they program the model. Participants will have access to hands-on support during the workshop and will have access to a recorded version of the workshop for additional learning after the workshop.
