Thanks very much to Leonhard Lades and Suhas Vijayakumar for organising the 16th annual workshop on economics and psychology in Ireland. The programme is below. I was involved in setting up and running the first decade or so of these workshops (the schedule for the first one in 2008 is here). There is a very interesting community of researchers across policy, academia, and industry in Ireland who are interested in what has increasingly come to be referred to as behavioural science and policy work. The workshop each year has consisted of a combination of regular academic talks, ideas for new centres and programmes, international keynotes from some of the foundational figures in behavioural science and policy, policy and industry presentations, and panel sessions. Several people have also revamped the Irish Behavioural Science and Policy Network that will roll out regular sessions in this area in Ireland (details here).
