We were delighted to celebrate the closing chapter of the three-year transdisciplinary study '𝐵𝑒𝑦𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑀𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑦: 𝐸𝑥𝑝𝑙𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐹𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝑊𝑒𝑙𝑙-𝐵𝑒𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑔ℎ 𝑎 𝐻𝑢𝑚𝑎𝑛 𝐿𝑒𝑛𝑠' — the largest qualitative study ever done on #FinancialWellbeing

We learned a lot from @pellotweets, Adele Atkinson, @riitsalu, @BorisMarte, Dana Brandenburg, Mihkel Solvak, Monika Hruba and @PetiaNiederlae1. The collaboration between the @erstefoundation, @ErsteResearch and the @unitartu is proof of the strength of cross-sectoral cooperation.
