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.
