If you or other members of your team have expertise related to behaviour change and/or you would like

to be added to the Centres mailing list, please contact us.

Behaviour change is increasingly recognised as

central to human wellbeing, social cohesion and

sustainability. Changing behaviour is a

challenging and complex process, requiring

theories, methods and evidence from many

academic disciplines. UCL has considerable

expertise in behaviour change, which until now

has been fragmented and scattered across

departments, divisions and faculties.

Funded by the Provosts Strategic

Development Fund together with support from

UCLsGrand Challenge for Health and

Wellbeing and five Faculty Deans, the Centre

aims to increase the quality and quantity of

academic activity in behaviour change at UCL,

increase its public profile and its engagement

with policy-makers and support UCL in

becoming a leading and world renowned

centre for expertise in behaviour change.
