IFIN seeks to open a multidisciplinary dialogue on how we could use the Internet to promote financial awareness and capability among citizens. Towards this goal, IFIN workshop will consist of two parts:

• presentation of related work
• roundtable interactive discussions with participants

Under the first part, it will also present key ideas from the recently initiated EU-funded project called PROFIT: Promoting Financial Awareness and Stability, as well as contributions from the wider scientific community. Under the second part, it will enable interactive discussions with the audience in a roundtable fashion being led by experts.

The audience will be encouraged to discuss their ideas and views on the purposes, services and functionalities an online financial awareness platform should have; how such a platform could cater to their needs; what they would like to see in it, what would make them log in in the first place and what would make them using it again and again.
