This conference, held on 29 June 2021, was for anyone who is interested in multi-disciplinery academic research through the medium of Welsh. Scientists, humanists and sociologists from all over Wales and beyond were invited to share the results of their research and to meet other like-minded Welsh researchers. The aim of the conference was to give the next generation of academics the opportunity to present their research to an audience of peers. There was also an opportunity to network with Welsh-speaking researchers and to foster a wider community of academics who promote Welsh-medium provision in our universities.

This resource is built on a series of behaviour change workshops. The resource is a presentation recording that conceptualizes rational and irrational behaviour, discusses the factors affecting the choice of Welsh medium higher education, and outlines a behaviour change framework and a worked example. The resource would be of relevance to anyone within the higher education sector seeking to use a behavioural approach to changing behaviour. Such an approach recognises the importance of framing decisions and the irrational character of behaviour, and has become popular amongst governments and policymakers. The presentation can be watched, and the worked example can provide some inspiration for using a behavioural approach.
