Finance in the Tuscan Hills seminar with Gianni Nicolini

|| This seminar is open ONLY to EUI members ||

Join us for the next event of the 'Finance in the Tuscan Hills' seminar series, where we host Gianni Nicolini, Professor of Finance at the University of Rome Tor Vergata (Rome, Italy).

The aim of the seminar is to highlight the key aspects involved in assessing the effectiveness of financial education programs and to discuss the related challenges. Starting from the theoretical framework, in which financial education is seen as a tool to enhance financial literacy and promote individual well-being, the seminar examines best practices and provides guidelines for evaluating program effectiveness. Among the main challenges are the need to address diverse target groups, limited resources, and the lack of long-term outcome monitoring. Finally, the seminar explores new perspectives offered by non-traditional learning approaches, such as edutainment, gamification, and artificial intelligence.
