Recap

There is great promise in technologies that aim to change behaviors. But there’s also a fear that as personalized, user-sensitive technologies entangle with everyday life, we are pressed into a mold of model citizens living bland, data-driven lives, based on a rational collectivist notion of health, happiness and productivity.
In this research meet we focus on the science and technology of behavior change. Are we designing the future we want to live in?

Visitors of this research meet learned new insights through talks and pitches. Of course there also were opportunities to meet other specialists. Visitors mentioned this research meet a very relevant event for everyone.
