Modern remote work and large collaborative online projects are both a blessing and a challenge. On one hand, they enable flexible working arrangements and bring together global expertise. On the other hand, the physical distance among team members makes us more susceptible to behavioral biases.
We wish you a blessed and peaceful Ramadan 2025. May you celebrate it with your beloved ones being safe, well and happy.

It is incredible that so many experiences, memories, and achieved milestones can fit into one year.

Thank you all – and let’s see what’s to come in 2025. Happy new year!
Last week, we had the great pleasure of co-delivering a workshop on Behavioral Tax Compliance together with our colleagues from Verian. Over the course of 1.5 days, we brainstormed and discussed a plethora of ideas on how to use behavioral insights to design interventions aimed to improve tax compliance in the Portuguese context as part of a project funded by the European Commission.
A big thank you to the colleagues from the Portuguese Tax Authority for their active participation and invaluable contributions.
