The Summer School will dive into why people make certain judgements and how to guide those choices more effectively. You will learn to design and test new ideas and methods based on hard empirical evidence. You will learn how to encourage and evaluate honesty, cooperation, risk, patience, healthy choices and greener habits, among other everyday decisions and social behaviours. By exploring the science behind judgment and decision-making, participants will learn how to initiate changes that benefit individuals and entire groups.
The programme features expert talks from research scientists and practitioners, group discussions, and poster sessions. These sessions will give participants the confidence to apply these principles in scientific and real-world practical settings.
The Summer School is targeted at doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers, and junior faculty in the behavioural and decision sciences (including economics, psychology, sociology, philosophy, brain science, organisational behaviour, management science, and social policy), as well as industry professionals from the private and public sectors who are eager to learn about novel approaches to applying decision science in policy and business settings.
