How can behavioural insights shape more effective policies for sustainable, climate-smart agriculture? Discover the answers at the BEATLES final event on 2 June 2026.
After four years of research and collaboration, the BEATLES Horizon Europe project is pleased to invite you to its final event, taking place on 2 June 2026, from 9:00 to 13:00 CEST, at Fondation Universitaire in Brussels, Belgium.
This closing event will present the project’s main findings, policy recommendations, and practical tools, while opening a wider discussion on the role of behavioural approaches in shaping the future of EU agri-food, climate, and digitalisation policies. Particular attention will be given to the opportunities for integrating behavioural insights into the next Multiannual Financial Framework (2028–2034).
Bringing together policymakers, representatives of EU institutions and advisory bodies, researchers, practitioners, and intermediaries, the event will provide a space for exchange on how behavioural approaches can support the transition towards more sustainable food systems. Participants will also have the opportunity to connect with advisory services, farmer organisations, NGOs, cooperatives, value-chain actors, and other EU projects working in related fields.
Objectives
- Present and discuss BEATLES’ main results and policy implications.
- Share key outputs, including policy recommendations, toolkit, and other relevant findings.
- Identify opportunities to scale up behavioural approaches through the CAP and other relevant EU instruments in 2028-2034.
- Connect evidence and policy by bringing together researchers, practitioners, and EU institutions to explore the practical uptake of behavioural insights.
- Facilitate exchange and networking among stakeholders working on sustainable food systems, behavioural change, and policy design.
