Conference "'Behavioural and cultural insights' - how can we use social and behavioural science findings to strengthen public health?" of the network "Behavioural Insights Connect". The conference, which will take place in Berlin, is funded and hosted by the Federal Ministry of Health. The event is organised by the network "Behavioural Insights Connect", which was initiated by Prof. Dr Julika Loss (Robert Koch Institute) and Prof. Dr Cornelia Betsch (University of Erfurt).

Why a conference on "Behavioural & Cultural Insights in Health"?

Health is decisively shaped by human behaviour. In order to plan preventive and health-promoting measures, we need to better understand how individual factors, cultural influences and living conditions affect this behaviour and thus health. These insights should be used systematically to break down barriers (e.g. in living environments and structural framework conditions), to motivate and thus make it easier for people to behave in a way that promotes health.

  • At the one-day event, we want to give an overview of the current research field of "Behavioural & Cultural Insights in Health" in Germany: what methodological and thematic expertise is there, which disciplines are active in which areas? What impulses are there from other countries?
  • We want to map the successful implementation of health-promoting measures based on "Behavioural & Cultural Insights" in Germany.
  • We want to network participants from science, politics and practice.
