Nudge Unit

The Nudge Unit conducts research aiming to solve problems by applying insights from Behavioural Science both inside and outside Warwick University.

Research projects conducted by WBIT aim to investigate people’s behaviour and to induce behavioural changes by applying insights from Behavioural Science. WBIT’s projects are characterized by a collaborative approach that makes these accessible to everyone, including students new to research.

Examples of research include interventions to reduce waste and improve recycling practices at university accommodations on campus, energy consumption and fast fashion. The Nudge Unit is ideal for people who want to dip their toes into research and want a more collaborative approach.
