The promotion of financial literacy is very important to the Institute for Business Education. Therefore, we train our students to become financial literacy coaches. On inquiry of schools, these coaches prepare a teaching concept for the requested financial education topic and also come to the school to hold these lessons.

The financial literacy coaches are among the Top 6 education projects of the MEGA Million for Education 2023!

In cooperation with the Financial Market Authority (FMA), we provide schools, teachers and other interested people with didactic Powerpoint presentations for direct use in the classroom or wherever financial education is to be promoted. Our didactic series on financial education Let's talk about money (Reden wir über Geld) is to be published about 6 times a year.

Moneywise^WU is based on a textbook chapter from Das Betriebswirtschaftsbuch für Fachschulen FW2 (kindly released by Jugend&Volk-Verlag) and is set to promote the financial literacy of young people through factual information and many application-oriented tasks, as well as links to WU learnpublic videos.

With the

WU OeNB Research Talent Award^*

we strongly encourage highschool students to exlore monetary and financial issues.

Highschool students and highschool graduates who have written outstanding pre-scientific papers or diploma theses on a monetary or financial topic can submit their papers. These are then reviewed and assessed by a specialist jury. The best students/graduates are awarded for their achievements.
