🍾 International Birthday Symposium celebrating 30 years of Web experimenting – September 11, 2024

🥳 We celebrated a milestone in both life and science! With Ulf-Dietrich Reips we marked 30 years of pioneering Internet-based experimentation and his 60th birthday with a symposium on September 11, 2024, at the University of Konstanz in its Data Theatre (ZT 1204).

💬 This special event featured insightful talks by distinguished researchers Michael Birnbaum (California State University Fullerton), Tom Buchanan (University of Westminster, London), Mario Callegaro (Google Research), and Jochen Musch (Unversity of Düsseldorf) and many video messages from around the world. Additionally, the international as well as local guests got to know a bit more of the culture of Konstanz in a tour around its city hall in the old town.

The iScience team would like to thank everyone who attended, sent greetings, photos or videos and all in all made this day very special to all of us. We hope to have built the basis for many fruitful future collaborations for the next 30 years of web-based experimenting! ✨

To better remember the nice memories, we have created two videos: One with all video messages that we have received as well as some additional photos over the years, and the other with memories of the event itself. The memory video is available to everyone who attended (and affiliated others upon request). Please write us an email at sek.reips@uni.kn with Subject “Symposium 30-60” to receive a copy.
