Ten researchers from the Leibniz Institute for Psychology (ZPID) attended the 20th General Meeting of the European Association of Social Psychology (EASP) 2026 in Strasbourg last week. In multiple talks and poster sessions, they shared their findings with the international research community. ZPID presented projects focusing on questions such as who people trust and how they evaluate social information. Marlene Altenmüller, Head of the Science Reception Lab at ZPID, looks back on a successful conference: “ZPID came to this year’s EASP full of research energy. It was great to receive so much positive feedback for our work from the international community. We left the conference with a lot of new inspiration and motivation from the exchange with the community!”
