About UKFin+
UKFin+ is an EPSRC-funded network connecting academic research to technological innovation within the UK financial services industry. Our primary goals are to foster connections, fund collaborations, communicate our findings, and coordinate a national research agenda. Our vision is a financial services market that offers a wide range of competitive, trusted, and socially relevant financial services, leveraging technological advancements to their fullest potential.
Spotlight Theme: RegTech, Resilience & Compliance
From May to November 2025, UKFin+ will focus on RegTech, Resilience, and Compliance. The rapid emergence of innovative financial technologies presents a unique challenge to regulators, who must strike a careful balance between protecting stakeholders and enabling innovation.
During this period, while our funding remains open to all applications, we will prioritise fostering connections and supporting collaborations that promote RegTech, Resilience and Compliance.
