Shifting norms through providing aggregate data to social groups (Spears’ SIDE model, Cialdini’s normative messages)
Mechanisms for public commitment, frequent feedback and personalisation
Relating energy-saving behaviour to other individual goals e.g. exercise, saving money (Froehlich et al., UbiGreen )
Affective messaging

Privacy Value Networks (EPSRC): How do users understand privacy across a range of contexts and timeframes?
Towards a Future Internet (EC): what are the key social, economic, psychological and technological drivers of the future network?
Federated Secure Sensor Network Lab (EPSRC): can we build a secure city-wide sensor net that enforces privacy guarantees?

Fair Tracing mapped two complete product information chains and experimented with presenting information. How to maximise its persuasive impact? Carbon Trust, EPSRC, FP7
e-Curator developed tools to reduce need for travel to examine physical objects. How do such tools change scientists’ behaviour? Google, national collections, ESRC/JISC
