Responsible, Transparent?". The aim of the conference is to discuss different
views, concepts, and models of consumers and the implications for policy-making.
The ICCR 2016 addresses questions like: Is there a way to protect vulnerable
consumers more efficiently? Can responsible consumers get new tools to achieve
healthy and sustainable societies? Is transparency an asset or a threat to
consumers? Does nudging help to unfold self-governance of consumers?

Consumer Association of North Rhine-Westphalia, the Ministry for Climate
Protection, Environment, Agriculture, Nature Conservation and Consumer
Protection of the German Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia and the
