On Tuesday 10th of September a buffet has been arranged at 6.30pm in Brea in Stirling (5 Baker St in Stirling, optional, cost £10). This social evening will be an excellent opportunity to meet students and staff from both the Behavioural Science programme and the Management School's MSc programmes in Energy Management and Environmental Economics. This will be particularly useful as an applied component of the Autumn module 'Behavioural Economics I: Concepts and Theories' will involve developing applications of behavioural science in the area of household energy choices with input from those taking Energy/Environment courses.
On Friday 13th of September from 9am - 6pm we will hold the first Behavioural Science workshop of the 2013 academic year. This workshop will be a good chance to interact with your MSc classmates and staff. There will be very high demand for this session as the two keynote speakers are world-leading thinkers in behavioural science and there is a substantial degree of interest in the topic of financial incentives for socially desirable behaviour at present. There is an allocation of places for MSc Behavioural Science for Management students but for logistic purposes we would ask to please register as soon as possible.
