Competence Centre on Behavioural Insights

We offer "behavioural insights applied to policymaking" training courses.

What we consume and how we live affects our environment. Insights into human behaviour can help design more effective environmental policies.

Many of our behaviours affect our health, and that of those around us. Understanding this can help shape better health policies.

European farmers are key to a sustainable EU. Understanding farmers’ decisions can lead to more effective agricultural policies.

Understanding how employers and employees take work-related decisions can help shape better employment policies.

The way we think, feel and act sometimes creates or reinforces exclusions and inequalities. Understanding these behavioural factors is crucial to solving these problems.

Communicating with Europeans is integral to the work of the European Commission. Effective communication can profit from knowledge about the behavioural factors of the target population.

Behavioural factors other than profit maximisation influence our financial decisions. Understanding these factors can improve market regulation and policies aimed at protecting investors.

Behavioural factors help explain why people do or do not pay their taxes. These insights can inform tax policies.

As consumers, we sometimes make decisions too quickly or without integrating all the relevant information. Behavioural insights can help us correct these 'biases'.
