Our platform provides a space for academics, policy officers, and financial practitioners to discuss approaches and experiences that strengthen the role of open science and knowledge-sharing between the financial sector and the research community.

Our Forum is committed to providing both established and emerging knowledge and scientific support on various issues related to sustainable finance.
Here are some relevant examples:
- Financial implications of climate change
- The role of the financial system in supporting the transition to a more sustainable economy
- Financial instruments and best practices that support the transition
- Directing financial flows towards research and development of sustainable technologies
- How environmental and social aspects can complement each other for an effective transition and their financial implications for the industry and policymakers in Europe
- How innovative financing instruments and technologies, such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, internet of things, and machine learning, can support the transition.
Join us in exploring these crucial topics and building a sustainable future!
