    The competence center’s research on the financial market should be systematically linked to areas for sustainability and transformation. The research is expected to include the areas of social mobility and migration, climate and the environment, and further how value is created, distributed and captured within as well as mediated by financial markets. In addition, research should be conducted on the interplay between the financial system and tensions at global, regional and local levels. Further, research could be conducted on the interactions between novel sustainability requirements and the emerging digital disruption and transformation of financial markets, where new types of actors deliver innovative solutions.
