Social Events
The TeaP 2022 conference will offer two different occasions to meet old and new colleagues, and to have an altogether entertaining evening.
We will have a Welcome Reception on Sunday at 6pm (in Gather) and a Social Evening on Tuesday at 6pm (in Gather). The special events will start at 7pm and Zoom links will be provided in advance via email.
Please see our Social Events Flyer (PDF) for more detailed information. Please note that the deadline for signing up for the special events on Tuesday has expired. However, you can still spontaneously decide to join one of them (except for the Escape Rooms). The links to the special events will be sent to you via mail. Also, there are plenty of other options to socialize, network and mingle in Gather!
The Welcome Reception on Sunday
This event offers the opportunity to meet the other attendees in a relaxed atmosphere. There will be no special events during Sunday, it's just a nice get-together! Meet old friends and colleagues, get into touch with new, unknown faces, share a drink or enjoy some of the small cooperative games that the Gather venue will offer. Additionally, there will be a table reserved for early career researchers at 6pm. All undergraduates, graduates, PhD students, and postdocs are invited to join!
The Welcome Reception will be held on Sunday, March 20 in Gather, starting at 6pm.

Meeting of Early Career Researchers
There will be a table reserved for early career researchers (so-called Stammtisch) during the Welcome Event on Sunday, March 20, 2022 at 6pm. The meeting is organized by the representatives of early career researchers of the Fachgruppe Allgemeine Psychologie (General Psychology Section), Carina G. Giesen and Christina U. Pfeuffer. All undergraduates, graduates, PhD students, and postdocs are invited to join!
The Social Evening on Tuesday
We offer different events for different tastes - Bring your own food and drinks and have fun!
We offer you:
1) A relaxed Cocktail Evening held by a professional bartender. Learn how to mix your own drinks professionally together with your colleagues!
2) Solve a difficult criminal case online in our cooperative Escape Room Event in small groups of 5-6 participants.
3) Find the imposter in the video game Among Us!
If these options don’t appeal to you, you are also invited to just mingle with the other attendees at the Gather venue!
The Gather venue will be accessible on Tuesday, March 22, from 6pm. The special events will start at 7pm.

The Cocktail Evening
This is a relaxed event for anyone who likes to sit back and enjoys a show together with colleagues. A professional bartender will host this event and show you how to professionally mix alcoholic and some non-alcoholic drinks. They will also give you some interesting historic facts, information about the ingredients, and professional techniques. This event has no participant limit and can be joined by any TeaP attendee. It will take about 2-3 hours and be held in English.
Note: We will provide a list of the necessary ingredients that you will have to purchase at your own cost in advance!
The Escape Rooms
Solve a difficult criminal case online in our cooperative Escape Room Event in small groups of 5-6 participants. Test your deductive skills by checking alibis, cracking codes, and putting the clues together! We will provide a short introduction for everyone, after which you will play in your groups for about 90-120 minutes. You are not required to install any software. This event is for anyone who is looking for something more interactive. You do not have to be familiar with Escape Rooms to participate.
Please note that the deadline for signing up for the Escape Rooms has expired.
Note 1: We would like to encourage you to meet new people! Hence, you can sign up for this event alone or with one colleague of your choice. The rest of the group will be filled randomly (we try to find matches based on your research area – but it cannot be guaranteed!).
Note 2: The places for this event are limited and are given away on a first-come-first-serve basis.
"Among Us" Matches
"Among Us" is a simple online game for teams of 4-15 players about teamwork and betrayal in space. This event is mostly addressed to attendees that are already familiar with this game, video games in general, or at least are open to try and learn how it works (it's not difficult!). Hence, we will not provide a larger introduction or explanation. We will, however, provide a discord server (which will be accessible over Gather) where all interested attendees can meet and fill up small groups on their own. Don't be shy and just drop in! We will provide rooms in English and German.
Of course you are also free to organize any other video game meet-up on our discord server; just check for yourself if you can find someone with your interests!
Note: This requires you to own and install the game (cost ~€4). System requirements are low. Cross-platform play is possible. PC players might additionally need a Steam or an Epic Games account. If you do not have an account, it is sufficient to create one using an email address and password right before the Social Evening on Tuesday.
