Nudgeathon 2024
2-4 April 2024 at the Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane.
Nudgeathon is a behavioural change competition, in which teams develop solutions to real-life social issues.
Each year, we invite teams of undergrad and postgrad students, government gurus, and private sector pros from across Australia and New Zealand to join us for an electrifying two-and-a-half-day Nudgeathon!
Teams of 4 will dive into a problem brief and use behavioural science principles and present their brilliant solutions to a panel of expert judges from academia, government, and industry. On the third day, we’ll announce the winners of the competition and this proposal will be presented to government with the aim of making it a reality either at the Commonwealth or State level. We are excited to announce that this year’s topic sponsor is the Plant Biosecurity Research Initiative (PBRI)
If you’re interested in participating in the 2024 event, or being a future topic sponsor for the Nudgeathon 2025 event, please contact Dr Stephen Whyte (sg.whyte@qut.edu.au).
