Event
We started our ‘Team Day’ with a leisurely walk along the Aare. We stopped off at the Schwellenmätteli restaurant for refreshments before continuing on to the Grottino for the second stage of our outing. After a delicious lunch, we got active again with a boccia championship – congratulations to the winning team! A day full of fun and team spirit – just the way we like it at IOP!
News
On the ninth of March 2025, Dr Andrea Essl presented our new project ‘Donations in the Digital Age’ at Bern Data Science Day 2025! In an online experiment, we want to explore how human vs. AI-supported interaction affects donation behaviour – and whether chatbots can trigger social responses similar to those of real people. Such insights can help non-profits design more targeted and effective digital fundraising strategies in the future.
