The Behavioural Insights for Policy (BiP) India Workshop will be held on 25-26 July 2026 at the IIM Kozhikode campus. The workshop is co-organized by IIM Kozhikode and King's College London.
The Behavioural Insights for Policy (BiP) Network at King’s College London is pleased to conduct the BiP India Workshop in partnership with the Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (IIM Kozhikode) from 25–26 July 2026.
The BiP Network brings together researchers and policymakers working at the intersection of behavioural science and public policy. Through a series of international workshops, the network aims to foster collaboration, showcase cutting-edge research, and strengthen connections between academia and policy communities. Previous workshops have taken place in locations such as Moldova and Greece, bringing together scholars and practitioners working on behavioural insights in diverse policy contexts.
BiP India will provide a platform for researchers across India and beyond to present work related to behavioural economics, behavioural public policy, and applied behavioural insights. The workshop will combine invited keynote presentations with open research sessions, creating opportunities for early-career researchers and established scholars to share their work and engage in discussion.
The Behavioural Insights for Policy (BiP) Network, based at King’s College London, aims to connect researchers and policymakers interested in applying behavioural science to public policy challenges. Through international workshops and collaborative events, the network promotes knowledge exchange and builds a global community working on behavioural insights.
