Utilizing complementary currencies to incentivize knowledge sharing, collaboration, and volunteering

Background
I came into B21 with the desire to explore economics stripped back as just the study of human incentives and choices. I am interested in how the concept of complementary currencies can be used to create incentives for 'socially beneficial' behaviour in a system of people. I'll be exploring how this may be implemented within the McGill community to perhaps facilitate increased knowledge sharing, collaboration, or volunteering efforts.
