The 2022 edition of the UTS Behavioural Lab Conference 2022 brought leading academics and practitioners of behavioural science together to look at the impact of public and private sector policies that depends critically on the behaviour of individuals, groups, and organisations.
Conference premise: A clear understanding of the power of behavioural science research and interventions can provide innovative solutions for addressing challenges faced by policymakers and practitioners. This understanding can only be achieved by bringing together those who research behavioural science and those who apply it.
