After years of research, pilots and tool-building across Europe, NEUROCLIMA is ready to share what it has learnt. On Wednesday 25 November 2026, we will present our results at a joint final conference with PRO-CLIMATE, a fellow Horizon Europe project, at the CSIC Brussels Office.
The conference, From Behaviour to Policy: Closing two journeys in climate adaptation research, brings both consortia into one room with researchers, practitioners and policymakers. Together we will compare methods, show the tools at work and put forward recommendations for regional and European action.
The timing is deliberate. The conference takes place five days after the close of COP31, while global climate commitments are still fresh, and it focuses on what helps turn those commitments into everyday adaptation in European communities.
Two journeys, one conversation
NEUROCLIMA and PRO-CLIMATE have explored the same question from two directions: how do people, communities and institutions move from knowing about climate change to acting on it?
NEUROCLIMA has drawn on cognitive science, behavioural research and AI to understand how people process climate information. Working with pilots in six European countries, the project built the NEUROCLIMA Hub, which connects trusted information from news, policy and research with insights on social tipping points. Around it sits a family of tools for journalists, educators, policymakers and citizens: Lens, Bot, Deliberate, Learn and Play, which includes the ClimateQuest board game.
PRO-CLIMATE has studied proactive social transformation and behavioural change in six Living Labs, looking at social tipping points, participatory governance and what leads individuals and organisations to take part in adaptation. It has also developed a Multi Agent Computer Model and platform that helps show how change unfolds within communities.
Bringing the two projects together on one stage lets each learn from the other, and gives policymakers a fuller picture than either project could offer alone.
What’s on the programme
The day opens with words from the two project coordinators, followed by three sessions.
Session I – The Human Approach. What does it take to shift behaviour at community scale? Drawing on NEUROCLIMA’s pilots and PRO-CLIMATE’s Living Labs, speakers will present evidence on social tipping points, co-creation and participatory governance. NEUROCLIMA will present its human-centred framework for social tipping points, explain how that work shaped our digital support tools, and introduce the N-Solution funnel, a collaborative methodology.
Session II – Supporting Technologies. A close look at the tools both projects have built to link data and decision-making, and at how they performed in real pilot settings. NEUROCLIMA will present its integrated solution and toolkit (Lens, Bot, Deliberate, Play, and Learn) and PRO-CLIMATE will present its Multi Agent Computer Model and platform.
Session III – Results and Policy-Related Issues. NEUROCLIMA will share the validation and pilot results of its solution, and the project’s recommendations for climate action.
Join us
The conference is open to everyone working on climate adaptation: researchers, policymakers, practitioners, journalists, educators and civil society. Places are limited to around 90 participants, so we recommend registering early.
