Behave Stockholm is a forum for spreading knowledge and promoting the use of Behavioral Sciences in Sweden. Our aim is to create a vibrant and eclectic platform for connecting theorists with practitioners, experts with beginners, skeptics with converts, from both the business and public sectors, where we can share and discuss new developments and insights from behavioral science and related fields.

Would you like to partner as a sponsor or help out in another way? Drop us a line and we’ll set up a meeting. We have lots of things planned, both big and small and will let you know as soon as anything is finalized. Don’t miss out, make sure you’re on our mailing-list.

Why Behave in Stockholm?
Our mission is to increase both awareness and use of behavioral economics in business and society – for the mutual benefit of organizations and individuals. We will do this by connecting theorists and practitioners, by fusing psychology and economics, and by encouraging dialogue and challenging conventional “truths”. We believe that better insights about how humans really work can fundamentally change the way organizations create value and are led (whether in decision-making, investment, sales, marketing or in society at large).
Our goal is to arrange seminars and events with a wide range of participants from both the academic and business worlds. Do you have a problem that could benefit from a behavioral economics approach or have you solved a problem using behavioral methods? Would you like to speak at one of our events or would you like to suggest a speaker? Get in touch with us by sending an e-mail to info@behavestockholm.com
Behavioral what?
Behavioral economics is a cross disciplinary study of the effects of psychological, social, cognitive, and emotional factors on economic decision making and the ensuing consequences for organizations, individuals and society. One of the pioneers in the field is Daniel Kahneman who, in 2003, became the first psychologist to win the Nobel Prize in Economics right here in Stockholm.

About us
Why do we continue to run business in the same way when the world around is constantly changing? Why do we treat people the same way when knowledge about how humans work tells us this is not the most efficient way? Why are the same myths and conventional “truths” still around even though they hinder creativity, innovation and optimal decision making? We want to change this, and launching Behave Stockholm is a first step.
