The University of Basel will be commemorating its 555 years with a science night – Uni-Nacht 2015: Lange Nacht der Wissenschaft – on Friday, Sept. 18th, 2015. Most events take place at the main university building (Kollegienhaus) but there are interesting talks, tours, and other activities taking place in other campus locations as well. Below are a few events organised by members of the Social, Economic, and Decision Psychology Area but you can find the full program online here.

SWE members have also organised some experiments that Uni-Nacht attendees can take part in as a way to learn about social psychology and risk taking research…
