As its name implies, Nudgeathon is a nudging marathon. The idea to organise this event came from hackathons – events in which programmers work on projects in order to learn, network and create usable solutions. We want you, university students, to work on a real behavioural problem and to develop ideas to help people make better decisions.

The main objective of Nudgeathon is to develop implementable solutions to a given social issue. You will be working in teams of four to six. Since Nudgeathon is all about creativity and novelty, we are looking for teams made up of students of diverse backgrounds: behavioural science, psychology, economics, but also computer science, engineering, cultural anthropology and design.

The problem briefs are provided by Partners that we select for every event. The briefs are chosen to ensure its topicality and current importance period.
