What we’re about

Behavior & Emotion Design 

This interdisciplinary group is for people who are interested in leveraging current behavioral science research for practical applications such as apps and software, technology, and other systems. The group was started as a place for learning, exchange and presentations about experiences, theories and apps that create habit formation and target behavior and emotion change, discussion about those and an exchange about own practices and experiences. People working in tech, design, behavior or social science on theoretical and practical level as well as everybody interested in the topic is most welcomed to join.
