A Word From Our Directors
We are delighted to unveil the UKFin+ research agenda. The research agenda highlights opportunities for collaborative research to address the most pressing long-term challenges facing the UK’s financial services sector. The agenda presents six areas of real-world importance – from harnessing disruptive technologies to promoting financial inclusion and wellbeing – and explores the enabling factors such as data, skills, and co-design that are essential to address these challenges effectively.

The agenda is the product of many months of effort, being shaped in no small part by stakeholder engagement and input at our events and workshops. We would like to thank everyone who has helped to put it together. 

 UKFin+’s ultimate goal is to encourage collaboration and innovation by providing a framework that aligns research priorities with the needs of industry, regulators, and wider society. We hope this agenda offers structured insight to researchers, practitioners, and funders, thereby supporting the development of proposals and funding calls that will help ensure the UK maintains its position as a global leader in financial innovation.
