This first ERCM after the COVID-19 pandemic focused on microfinance research priorities that are aligned with the SDGs to shape and create the post-pandemic microfinance research agenda.
The 7th European Conference on Microfinance was held in June 2022 at the Yunus Centre for Social Business & Health, Glasgow Caledonian University (Glasgow, UK).
This edition, organised in collaboration with CERMi and supported by the European Microfinance Platform (e-MFP), was focused on microfinance research priorities that are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to shape and create the post-pandemic microfinance research agenda.
Globally, current challenges are widespread, complex and interrelated and, in this context, it is relevant to better understand the role that microfinance can play on the path for post-pandemic recovery. During the conference access, product design, product delivery, funding, governance, and the limits to what microfinance can achieve, among other topics were discussed. There was also a strong focus on innovative research methods, including cross-disciplinary methodological developments.
