general Info

Nudgeathon is a behavioural change competition, in which teams develop solutions to real-life social issues.

Each year, we invite teams of undergraduate and postgraduate students, government gurus, and private sector pros from across Australia and New Zealand, and the world to join us for an electrifying two-and-a-half-day Nudgeathon!

Teams of 4 will dive into a problem brief and use behavioural science principles and present their brilliant solutions to a panel of expert judges from academia, government, and industry.  On the third day, we’ll announce the winners of the competition and this proposal will be presented to government with the aim of making it a policy reality either at the Commonwealth or State level.

If you’re interested in sending a team to Nudgeathon 2025, or being a future topic sponsor for the Nudgeathon event, please contact Dr Stephen Whyte
