Invitation to ManyLabsDACH Lab Consortium
Levent Neyse
Dear Colleagues,
We are organizing ManyLabsDACH, a many-labs study across the German-speaking region (DACH), and would be delighted to invite additional laboratories to join the consortium.
Our goal is to bring together more than twenty laboratories to jointly run a single, high-powered, pre-registered laboratory experiment, with the design selected collectively by participating labs. Each lab would recruit approximately 200 to 300 participants, yielding a total sample of roughly 4,000 to 6,000 participants.
The study is supported by the Lab² (PIs: Anna Dreber and Levent Neyse; funded by the Leibniz Association) and the CRC Rationality and Competition (PIs: Georg Weizsäcker and Klaus Schmidt; funded by the German Science Foundation).
How it works:
Each participating lab is invited to submit one design proposal.
Participating labs jointly select the design to be implemented.
The chosen experiment will be run using standardized materials provided by the project team.
We will handle organizational and technical coordination centrally in Berlin, including preparation of the experimental software and all study materials.
All contributing labs will be included as co-authors on the final publication, with up to three co-authors per lab.
More information is available on the study website: www.manylabsdach.com
If you run a laboratory in the German-speaking region and would like to join the project, we would be very happy if you could reach out to us by 03.03.2026. Please also distribute this information to other laboratories that might not yet have heard about the project.
Feel free to contact me if you are interested or have questions.
Best regards,
Levent Neyse
