SocioPatterns conferences dataset - Contact data

Abstract

We present a longitudinal data set of four scientific conferences during which we have collected face-to-face contacts along with extensive information about the participants (see https://doi.org/10.7802/2352 ). Interactions between participants were monitored using the SocioPatterns platform, which allows to detect and record face-to-face physical proximity events every 20 seconds in a well-defined social context. This data set contains the contact data, i.e. the interaction events that were collected during the four studies. Participants were not linked through the four studies.
