The UNSW Business School Experimental Research Laboratory (BizLab) is hosting a half-day Workshop on Experimental Research in Social Sciences and Business on Tuesday, 19th November 2024.

The theme for this year's workshop is "Experimental Research in Sustainability: Insights, Opportunities and Challenges". This event will showcase up-to-date experimental research on sustainability across various disciplines by bringing together experts in accounting, marketing and psychology. Our speakers will provide insights into how sustainability influences the decisions and behaviors of diverse stakeholders, including employees, investors, consumers and policymakers. They will also discuss how experimental approaches can address sustainability challenges, such as promoting sustainable behaviors. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in deeper discussions during the interactive panel session.

We welcome academics from business disciplines and social sciences with an interest in experimental research and interdisciplinary exchange. This workshop provides an opportunity for faculty and PhD students from across Australia to engage in discussions, share ideas, and network.
