[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Two main online social events are planned for the conference week, both in gather.town (Grinzing). The Gather.Town environment allows participants to talk to each other in a natural way: people close to each other see and hear each other, people in a distance cannot be heard. Private areas in Grinzing allow for private meetings of two to six people.<\/span><\/p>\n After the welcome words we will explain several social activities and locations available during EG’2021. <\/span><\/p>\n We will give a brief introduction to the games that are located in Prater and present Viennese kitchen room at Gather.Town that features original recipes of local food & coffee.<\/span><\/p>\n It will be followed by the intro to the Meet & Greet activity \u2013 our take on the scientific speed dating. It will take place on Thursday evening (Social Event 2). Don\u2019t forget to <\/strong><\/span>register<\/strong><\/a> to join a group sharing your interest!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The highlight of the event is the official presentation of Schnitzeljagd – a quiz variation of scavenger hunt\u00a0based on the Vienna map.
