Behavioral Design Unit

It was founded during the discussion session at our workshop "the 1st Barcelona Misbehaviors Meeting" on June 20th, 2019. Our aim is to apply behavioral science and other related field to solve issues at universities in Barcelona (and other cities) by helping and supporting decisions of students and other people on campus. Our main ongoing projects include:

  • Reducing electricity and water consumption
  • Promoting healthy food (discouraging unhealthy food)
  • Increasing turnout of voters in student elections
  • Increasing the number of students registering for the experimental labs
