How can complex systems approach enrich behavioural and social science research, and increase its relevance to public policy? The symposium did shed light on various ways of how theoretical insights and empirical methods of complexity science can contribute to research and practice of interventions to change behaviour in various societal domains. The symposium featured both international and Finnish speakers who are experts in this area.
