The purpose of Irish Behavioural Science and Policy Network (IBSPN) is to bring together the thinkers and doers of behavioural science in Ireland.
The purpose of Irish Behavioural Science and Policy Network (IBSPN) is to bring together researchers and practitioners and others interested in the application of behavioural science. We want members of the network to share, discuss and debate how behavioural insights can and should be applied in the business, academic and public policy domains in Ireland.
Details of our new monthly online seminars will be posted here shortly.
If interested, please register your details with IBSPN to receive updates on these events.
Each meet-up is structured around a collection of short talks, where each speaker describes briefly an idea they are working on (or thinking about), followed by questions, potential suggestions for collaboration between members, and a group discussion on the collection of talks.
