    Annual Boot Camp 2023

    Hamburg, Germany | June 2023

The first Boot Camp took place in June 2023, in Hamburg, Germany. The Boot Camp was a three-day full-immersion research workshop hosted jointly by JHS and GFLEC. The selection committee consists of nominated G53 Network Members supported by a JHS representative. We selected 12 researchers invited to attend the Boot Camp, but the number can grow over time. The variety of academic fields our members come from, exposed attendees to the expertise and interdisciplinary mentorship necessary to enrich research and push the financial literacy field forward. Scholars invited to present were Annamaria Lusardi, Bilal Zia, Tabea Bucher-Koenen, Rob Alessie, Antonia Grohmann, and Luis Oberrauch, and the support of the instructor Alessia Sconti.
