Increasing attention has been recently paid to assessing individuals’ financial competence, and more generally, financial inclusion. The latter is critical in reducing poverty and achieving inclusive economic growth. Indeed, when people can participate in the financial system, they are more able to start and expand businesses, invest in their children’s education, absorb financial shocks. The VMG proposal fits in the Excellence and Inclusiveness policy by providing a virtual and real space for collaboration among students, young and senior researchers in terms of gender, nationality, stage of career and age. The planned activities are set within the Diversity team of the FinAI Cost Action, but of course open to the other members of the Cost Action and to new members, based on expertise and potential contribution. Furthermore, it aims at involving new researchers interested in Improving the knowledge about financial inclusion. The VGM is planned to improve the capability of the next generation to work on an interdisciplinary study via the Internet and through the use of online collaborative tools, such as cloud, data repositories and video call applications. This allows researcher to contribute to the goals of the Action with more ease and without the costs of travelling, that might require also visa applications.
