The International Panel on Behavior Change (IPBC) is a large international and interdisciplinary group of scientists focused on behavior. To optimize the scientific and societal relevance of the IPBC’s outputs, three working groups (WG) have been established: scientists (WG1), economic actors (WG2), and other stakeholders and institutions (WG3).
The IPBC’s objectives are to produce main and thematic reports that will summarize the state of the art in knowledge on behavior change related to the environment and to integrate multiple disciplines around behavior/human factors (HF) to make knowledge, indicators, and practices more robust and predictive for sustainable, desirable, and fair transitions.
Love for Livres is the first search engine for books based on emotions—or emotions based on books.
Books have power. Neuroscience shows how they can improve our relationships with others, create social connections, help us feel better, and strengthen our cognitive abilities. Reading a book can change our lives. Love for Livres is a social enterprise that shares and gives these powers to readers by approaching books differently, through what defines our shared humanity: our emotions. To achieve this, Love for Livres relies on innovative tools based on neurocognitive and behavioral approaches.
