Financial Data Analytics and Sustainable Finance (FINDATA)

The area of finance has recently been undergoing fundamental changes. Digital technologies have transformed the economy and society, affecting all sectors of activity including the financial sector. Both consumers and businesses are increasingly using digital financial services. The pandemic has exacerbated this trend. Innovation is ubiquitous in financial services – whether it is mobile banking, e-commerce and contactless payments, or asset management and cryptocurrency trading. Digital finance offers technology companies opportunities to develop and innovate, creating growth and jobs. Data is at the centre of digital transformation. Currently, big data and analytics are top of the list of critical skills shortages.

Lithuania is a dynamic European innovation and fintech hub, having all the necessary conditions for its fintech ecosystem to grow and develop, namely support from the government, favourable taxation system, progressive regulatory rules, multi-disciplinary talent pool, and innovative infrastructure.

Therefore, four partner universities (University of Pardubice (the Czech Republic), European University (Cyprus), LUMSA University (Italy), and Vilnius University (Lithuania)) developed a joint master study programme Financial Data Analytics and Sustainable Finance (FINDATA) that will react to these changes and challenges in the society and economy, and urgent needs of the labour market. FINDATA master study programme aims to educate highly qualified experts in the field of finance and data analytics, i.e., graduates equipped with knowledge of key financial and economic disciplines with emphasis on environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations. See the website of the FINDATA study programme here.
