On the first week of term, we are very excited about the new academic year.

Developments on the MSc Behavioural Science

We welcomed an enthusiastic group of new students to our MSc Behavioural Science on Monday who bring a diverse wealth of experience with them. This will be the first cohort to profit from our collaboration with Cowry Consulting to give our program an even greater real world traction. More particularly, we will be working with a graduate from our MSc Behavioural Science who now works at Cowry, Sam Shand. More on this to follow.

New Events

We also talks and our flagship conference on digital regulation coming up. Check out the events page for a full listing of upcoming and past events.

New Faculty

And, in a very exciting development, Leonhard Lades is joining Stirling as Professor of Behavioural and Environmental Economics! Leo will join the faculty in the Spring semester.

Leo has been an active member of the Behavioural Science Centre for a decade now, contributing even after he had left his faculty post at Stirling to take up a job in the private sector and then subsequently at UCD. Leo’s return marks a moment for the centre.

Below is a link to Leo’s website, which details some of his excellent contributions, including a state-of-the-art framework for considering the ethics of behavioural science interventions and, more recently, pioneering work that takes a behavioural lens to the environment and to administrative burden Leonhard K. Lades (google.com)

It is a very exciting moment for the Behavioural Science Centre to be welcoming someone of Leo’s vision!
