It has a central role in guiding the international research agenda on alternative finance, supporting financial inclusion and access to finance. ECAF is a joint initiative of Utrecht University School of Economics (U.S.E.), CrowdfundingHub and Sustainable Finance Lab.

In this work special focus is given to technology and innovation management especially in digital markets.
The Department of International Financial Markets is involved in scientific research and teaching in the areas of finance, international finance, international financial markets, banking, monetary policy, currency risk management.
The CLEAR project is a research initiative focusing predominantly on the law and practice of crowdfunding. While the research is anchored with Aalborg University, it is an open collaborative environment in which stakeholders from the industry, public authorities, researchers and students join forces. The CLEAR project's mission: "From our outset in legal science we want to understand and inform stakeholders and the public of the law and practice in crowdfunding so they can pursue opportunities, create wealth for the many, increase trust in digital community finance, fight crime, and strike a fair balance between interests involved."
