The Behavioural Economics Team of the Australian Government (BETA) is hosting BI Connect 2024, a free online behavioural insights conference.
The event is entirely virtual and is spread over three sessions in November. BI Connect showcases behavioural insights research and its applications, this year we have presenters from academia, government, and industry.
Session 1 – Innovative methodologies in behavioural science
Wednesday 13 November, 11:00am-12:00pm (AET)
[Tues., Nov. 12, 4-5pm PST]Over the last decade, a range of methodologies, frameworks and techniques have been developed to support the application of behavioural science in public policy. In this session, we’ll explore new and emerging directions, techniques and methods, their importance in an evolving world, and whether the methodologies of yesteryear still hold true today.
Session 2 – Financial well-being
Wednesday 20 November, 11:00am – 12:00pm (AET)
[Tues., Nov. 19, 4-5pm PST]Financial stress is impacting many Australian households. How can behavioural science help make things easier and reduce the burden for Australians as they navigate through periods of financial hardship.
Session 3 – Working at the margins
Tuesday 26 November, 11:00am-12:00pm (AET)
[Mon., Nov. 25, 4-5pm PST]Involving under-served cohorts in research is often difficult – designing or co-designing interventions is even harder. Join our panel discussion to explore how behavioural scientists are working at the margins to better understand hard-to-reach cohorts and design effective solutions.
