So excited to join the #nudge researchers community!! 📣 In a new paper, I test how different #behavioral strategies shape citizen #coproduction choices in two issue areas: natural hazard #resilience and public #health. My experimental design also assess the intention and behavior gaps challenge. I find interesting results for the role of social norms, loss aversion and the infamous default strategy.

I strongly recommend listening to this session if you want: - to know more about how civil society is participating to EU policymaking (on health) - what different actors think about the existing mechanisms for civil society participation to EU policymaking (on health) - what different actors consider as priorities to improve civil society participation in EU policymaking (on health) If you're in my community, you already know why civil society participation in EU policymaking matters and you will certainly draw your own conclusions from listening to this session (which will likely be similar to mine, so feel free to drop a line and let's share our feelings of despair and/or hope).
