TSVP Teatime

(Approximately) every second Thursday at 4pm a "TSVP Talk" (general-audience lecture) will be given by one of the visitors, usually in seminar room L4E48. Details about these can be found on the Events page.

On Thursdays without talks, visitors of the TSVP meet up at 4pm for "TSVP Teatime": informal discussions and getting to know each other as well as OIST researchers.

The Teatime takes place in the Lab 4 Level D Break Area (L4D01), the large room with the colorful floor. Table Tennis is also available should you be interested in a TSVP Tournament.

This Thursday (December 8th) at 4pm the recently revived OIST Teatime is happening at the same time as TSVP Teatime. Feel free to join both for half an hour each or so. The TSVP Teatime is mainly a gathering of TSVP visitors and those who want to meet them, but everyone is welcome (no registration required). Future OIST/TSVP Teatimes will mostly be held on separate days.
