Welcome Reception

We are very pleased to invite all conference attendees to the welcome reception on Wednesday in the beautiful atmosphere of the courtyard of the historic Psychological Institute (Hauptstraße 47–51, 69117 Heidelberg). The institute is located directly in Heidelberg’s historic old town and pedestrian zone. The barbecue, offering both vegetarian and meat options as well as a variety of refreshing drinks, provides an opportunity for initial exchange and networking. You will also be able to collect your conference materials there and register in advance, if you want to.

IGOR Price

The Interest Group Open and Reproducible Science in the Biological Psychology Section of the German Psychological Society (IGOR) awards the annual Open and Reproducible Science Prize.

Details

Papers (poster and symposium presentations) presented at PuG 2026 that exemplify the application of open and reproducible science practices or represent metascience on open and reproducible science topics are eligible. The abstract should include statements on the open and reproducible science aspects of the published or unpublished work (this includes, but is not limited to, pre-registration, open data and materials, reproducible analyses, and metascience work). When submitting an entry, it must be stated that it is to be considered for the IGOR Prize.

Applicants will then be contacted separately by email and asked to write a short letter of justification (approx. 100 words). Based on this information (abstract, justification), the jury will select the most promising entries. Two jury members will look at each shortlisted presentation and evaluate it according to various aspects related to the promotion of openness and reproducibility. The contribution that best meets the objectives of IGOR will be honoured at PuG 2026 with a certificate and a cash prize of €500.
