At the University of Edinburgh, we challenge, create, and make change happen. We are focused on tackling increasingly complex challenges, bringing organisations and disciplines together to spark positive impact and make better futures possible for Scotland, the UK, and globally.

A world-leading research-intensive institution, the University addresses tomorrow’s greatest challenges. The biggest questions facing societies globally are complex and interconnected. Our approach is participatory and future-facing. Recognising that insight, innovation and impact come from bringing people and knowledge together, addressing the challenges of our time requires radical and creative collaborations. Our ethos and approach stem from the University of Edinburgh’s principles of civic responsibility, working with and for wider communities, and the importance of opening up education to all who can benefit.

The University offers its partners a new kind of collaborative, multidisciplinary, and data-driven ecosystem, to imagine, develop and test innovative solutions in the Financial Services and FinTech sector which will create benefits for society. We support the financial services industry to become more innovative through connecting with talent, learning, research expertise, facilities, and data partnerships.

Key areas of focus include:

  • Climate Change: Risks & Opportunities

  • Financial Vulnerability & Wellbeing

  • Ethical, Data-Driven Innovation & Technology
