Psychology Lunchtime Seminar

The Lunchtime Seminar provides both external and internal researchers the opportunity to present their work to the Psychology Department of the University of Fribourg. 

Except that of presenting cutting edge research, the Lunchtime Seminar has no specific focus, hence the topics presented may vary, for example, from applied clinical psychology to computational models of decision making. Although it is primarily targeted at the department’s active researchers, Master’s students are also encouraged to attend.

The Lunchtime Seminar is co-organised by Pascal Gygax and Andreas Sonderegger.
