FAQ

What is the BE.Hour webinar series?

The BE.Hour webinar series will contain eight one-hour long webinars presented by the BE.Center over the course of 2023-2024. The webinars are focused on behavioral science topics, with a particular emphasis on Rare’s behavior-centered design journey and behavioral levers.

Who can attend the series?

If you are a member of behavior.rare.org (also known as BRO), you are welcome to join! BRO members tend to be those interested in social science, design science, and environmental psychology, and how those concepts can be integrated into conservation and environmental work. Does that sound like you? If you want to join BRO, make a free account today and encourage your colleagues to do the same! You can access resources, interact with other members, and see past webinars. Questions? Email María at mdabrowski@rare.org.

Who can present in the series?

The topics of all future webinars are posted below. If you have real-world examples of how you have integrated part of the behavior-centered design journey in your work, and you want to share a ten-minute presentation of how you have done so, email María at mdabrowski@rare.org to discuss!

Where and when is the series being held?

We want as many people as possible to be able to attend these series. They will happen at varying times so that different time zones can be included, and will occur about two months apart each (though this may vary). All webinars will be held via Zoom. There will be three separate webinars in Spanish on some topics (listed below), with dates and times TBD.
