We are delighted to announce that the 3rd Scottish Behavioural Science Conference will take place in University of Stirling’s Court Room.

More details (including speakers, schedule, etc.) will be posted on this website in the coming days and weeks.

If you would like to be considered for a presentation at the event, please get in touch with Leo Lades of the organising committee (l.k.lades@stir.ac.uk) and send over the title and (extended) abstract of the paper you would like to present.

A registration link for (non-presenting) participants will appear here:

The purpose of the conference is to further develop links between behavioural scientists (e.g., from behavioural economics, social and cognitive psychology, philosophy, and related areas) throughout Scotland.

For this conference, we understood behavioural science as the study of when and why people engage in specific behaviors. We are also interested in applications of behavioural insights to change behaviour (e.g. through nudges or boosts) and inform policy making for example by guiding welfare assessments (e.g. well-being research).

Presentations from academics and practitioners are equally welcome.
