Aston University to host annual Personal Financial Wellbeing Research Conference 2024

13/11/2024 - 13/11/2024 Aston University
Location: Birmingham
Address Aston Business School

Aston University’s Centre for Personal Financial Wellbeing (CPFW) will host its third joint annual conference with the UK's Money and Pension Service (MaPS) in November.

The Personal Financial Wellbeing Research Conference 2024 is a one-day event that will bring together academics, practitioners, policymakers and other stakeholders to discuss the latest findings and implications of research on personal financial wellbeing.

The conference will feature three panel discussions. The first will focus on CPFW’s two-year poverty alleviation work across three districts of Worcestershire in partnership with the local authorities, University of Warwick and University of Bristol. The second will look at various types of frauds that affect personal and financial wellbeing and the innovative strategies being implemented to combat them. The third will focus on the Nest Insight-led 10-month Real Accounts financial diaries project which studied how low-to-medium income UK households have been managing their debt and credit on a daily basis, with CPFW and Glasgow Caledonian University as partners.

During an extended lunch period there will be an opportunity for researchers to showcase their new and emerging research related to financial wellbeing in the form of poster sessions.

The conference will provide an opportunity for networking and collaboration among researchers and practitioners who share a common interest in improving personal financial wellbeing.

The conference is organised by the CPFW in partnership with the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS). MaPS is a public body that provides free and impartial money and pensions guidance and works to improve people's financial wellbeing.

Professor Andy Lymer, director of the CPFW at Aston University, said:

“We will be showing off the results of the first two years of our work with several District Council level partnerships exploring how collective action can best be harnessed to aid local approaches to poverty alleviation on the ground. The audience will get a chance to review the outcomes of this work and feed further into the refining processes as we roll this out to several new project partners going into 2025.”

Dixon Wong, manager of the CPFW at Aston University, added:

“The extended poster sessions will feature as a key element of our conference. Ahead of the conference we have engaged research communications experts from Research Retold to share the latest best practice in using visuals to capture the essence of research results in an accessible and engaging way in an online workshop. We look forward to welcoming the team at our conference and seeing the final posters.”

The free event will take place on Wednesday 13 November at Aston Business School in Birmingham. To see how the conference went last year, click here.

We have used AlphaGalileo since its foundation but frankly we need it more than ever now to ensure our research news is heard across Europe, Asia and North America. As one of the UK’s leading research universities we want to continue to work with other outstanding researchers in Europe. AlphaGalileo helps us to continue to bring our research story to them and the rest of the world.
Peter Dunn, Director of Press and Media Relations at the University of Warwick
AlphaGalileo has helped us more than double our reach at SciDev.Net. The service has enabled our journalists around the world to reach the mainstream media with articles about the impact of science on people in low- and middle-income countries, leading to big increases in the number of SciDev.Net articles that have been republished.
