The "Innovative Financial Inclusion in Academia and Field" (IFI) project, supported by Erasmus+ and the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA), was a groundbreaking initiative aimed at integrating academic research with practical education in sustainable finance. Spanning 40 months with 13 partners from 7 countries, including the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, the project made significant strides. It was notably co-led by the Estonian Business School (EBS), focusing on research and development in sustainable and inclusive finance through its Work Package 4 (WP4). The project enriched educational programs, fostered academia-industry collaborations, and culminated in innovative educational outputs like specialized courses and a new Microdegree in "Sustainable and Green Finance."
