Summary: In line with the European Commission's 2018 Action Plan for Sustainable Growth in Finance, the project "Student Literacy in Sustainable Finance" aims to advance education in sustainable finance as a key element to promote sustainability transformation in the European Union. Given the growing importance of sustainable finance in light of climate challenges and the need for more resilient financial systems, our initiative responds to the increasing demand for comprehensive financial education with a focus on sustainability.

Our project aims to develop and implement a sustainable finance education program. By conducting a research study, creating a cross-faculty curriculum and establishing a sustainable finance competency assessment, we aim to equip students and faculty with the necessary knowledge and skills to understand and apply sustainable finance principles and practices.
