The Center for Financial Education brings together the expertise of eight departments at WU Wien.

It is the central point of contact for research, teaching, and exchange on the topic of financial literacy. Our mission is: Advancing financial literacy through research, education, and collaboration - one step at a time. Our goal is to help everyone learn (how) to make well-considered, self-determined, and future-oriented decisions about their finances.

We work on interdisciplinary research and teaching projects, for example on financial decision-making processes, the influence of financial knowledge on behavior, and gender-specific differences in various facets of financial literacy. In addition, we develop educational programs for young people and adults and are involved in third mission activities, through which we bring scientific findings (in)to society.

On our website, you will find information about our team, our research projects and educational projects as well as our events. We invite you to discover the diversity of our work and follow current developments in the field of financial education, here and on our social media channels.
