How to systematically make use of behaviour change theory and evidence in designing public policy? Can behavioural diagnosis help to identify key determinants and effective strategies? How to develop, adapt and evaluate interventions in a behaviour change theory – and evidence- based manner? What are the steps to take forward to improve the uptake and use of research on influencing behaviour, when designing policies and interventions? The 2nd BeSP-symposium: Behavioural insights in designing public policy & interventions was a high-profile multidisciplinary 2-day symposium featuring both international and Finnish speakers. Tiedekulma was fully booked (over 180 registered participants), and a 2-day event had a wide live streaming audience (119 viewers followed the stream on Thursday and 149 viewers on Friday!).
