Osaka Forum 2019] Nudging Familiar Issues - From Coercion to Spontaneous Decision Making / May 18, 2019 (Sat.) 16:00 @ Osaka Nanko

Riverness will sponsor the event.Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference in Osaka Forum 2019(Saturday, May 18, 2019), a panel discussion on "Nudging Familiar Issues - From Coercion to Spontaneous Decision-Making" (session partner: Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc.) will be held within the

A nudge is a strategy, based on scientific analysis, that encourages, rather than enforces, unconsciously voluntary human behavior. For example, you may have seen a stairway in town that displays the number of calories burned per climb. This nudge reminds people that exercise is good for their health and motivates them to take the stairs instead of the escalator, while at the same time easing escalator congestion. Although its use is still in its infancy, it is expected to be utilized in all aspects of private and professional life. In this session, we will discuss new ways of dealing with issues around us based on case studies in academia and government.

We will have a program of discussions among researchers, venture companies, and large corporations from various perspectives, not limited to the themes of this session.
We are currently accepting applications for audience participation and research poster presentations. Please visit the conference website (see below).
