Message from the Financial Literacy Team,
An Roinn Airgeadais/Department of Finance
As part of the rollout of the EU Financial Literacy Strategy, the European Commission is looking for stakeholders to participate in a roundtable that will provide input to a voluntary European code of conduct for private and not‑for‑profit organisations promoting financial literacy. The Code will help ensure that initiatives have transparent objectives, offer accurate and unbiased content, and include safeguards to mitigate conflicts of interest. Selected stakeholders will be invited to participate in a series of meetings to support the development of the code, which is expected to be adopted in the first quarter of 2027.
The group will consist of up to 15 members and the European Commission are seeking applications from those with
- proven and relevant competence and experience, including at European and/or international level, in areas relevant to financial literacy and the tasks of the Stakeholder Roundtables;
- ability to contribute effectively to the development of the EU Code of Conduct;
- experience and contributions that are relevant beyond one individual product, campaign or organisation and could provide a useful perspective for the development of common principles are considered an asset;
- for individuals applying to be appointed in a personal capacity only: the absence of circumstances that could give rise to a conflict of interest;
- for organisations only: the competence, experience and seniority of the proposed representative;
- good knowledge of the English language allowing active participation in the discussions (individual applicants and organisations’ representatives).
The call will remain open until 16 September 2026. For more information, please see the attached booklet relating to the call and if you have any questions please feel free to direct any queries to the financial literacy team in the European Commission at Fisma-Financial-Literacy@ec.europa.eu
They would also like to take this opportunity to remind you of the call for submissions of successful financial literacy initiatives to identify and collect best practices across the EU. Individuals and organisations can submit information on existing projects in the areas of investing, saving, and financial risk literacy by 30 October 2026.
For more information on both calls as well as the wider work of the European Commission on financial literacy, please see here on the European Commission’s website.
