TFI Event Programme

CEPR Network on Household Finance

Alghero, Sardinia,
TFI Event: Thursday 5 October 2017

 

The workshop will be held in Alghero, Sardinia, starting on Thursday 5 October with a Think Forward Initiative (TFI) Evening Event and finishing on Saturday 7 October. The Think Forward initiative is looking forward to co-hosting an event with CEPR in Sardinia. The Think Forward Initiative (TFI) is a multiple partner eco-system seeking to find, foster, and fuel sustainable solutions that have a lasting global impact. The TFI revolves around identifying and resolving gaps in our understanding of decision-making and turning new insights into practical solutions for financial empowerment. The Thursday evening event will bring together the topics of research, innovation and lean business. We hope to engage all those in attendance to consider the potential for research on financial behaviour to be channelled into disruptive innovation, to empower people. Apart from engaging speakers, who are global leads in their fields, we will launch the first TFI research challenge. Our research challenge launch is a call to action in joining forces across sectors for societal financial empowerment.
