Brown Bag Lecture: Green for your image? How observation by others influences our food choices

Eating is a social activity that we often do in the company of others. But what does this actually do to our decisions? Eva Weingärtner from the Department of Environmental and Behavioral Economics and her colleagues are researching whether being observed by others leads us to make our food choices more sustainable in order to present ourselves in a positive light. She shares the latest results from her department's experimental research and gives us an insight into what measures could help to promote healthy and environmentally friendly eating habits in society.
A brown bag, filled with a tasty sandwich and a sweet from the Studierendenwerk, is available in the pavilion café (students €3, employees and guests €3.30)
The format of the Brown Bag Lecture is informal and casual: in collaboration with the university's departments and the Studierendenwerk, young researchers present their research topic in entertaining short talks - while the audience relaxes and eats their American sandwich from the brown paper bag. The entire breadth of research is represented and the speakers strengthen their skills in science communication.
The event takes place as a Zoom meeting:
