Research • Lead: 4-UNA • M4–M48 • 348 PM

WP 5 is led by UNA and supported by all partners. The work is divided into the following tasks.

Objectives

The WP will focus on combining traditional investment approaches with ESG insights.
O 5.1. To answer the main research questions on incorporating ESG considerations into investment process and portfolio construction.
O 5.2. To demonstrate the recommender system, green AI credit scoring and ABMs through use cases (SWE, RAI, ROY).
O 5.3. To disseminate the knowledge through open source implementations, validated by FRA, ECB, ARC.
