Our mission
The Clearing House Financial Education Research (CHF) acts as a coordinator and interface between research, practice and policy in the field of financial education. Its aim is to promote evidence-based financial education and enhance the quality of financial education research.
The highly diverse and dynamic nature of the financial education landscape, the interdisciplinary nature of financial education research, and the sharp increase in publications in specialist journals make it difficult for interested parties in education policy and practice, as well as researchers, to obtain a comprehensive and well-founded overview of current developments and findings. This is where we come in. We monitor national and international trends in financial education, prepare financial education research findings for specific target groups and provide standards and guidelines for academia, practitioners and policymakers.
