Training activities consist of a core seminar which aims to promote knowledge transfer. Faculty members from European universities will visit the Philippines for seven days to teach intensive banking, macroeconomic and finance courses. Short and intensive lectures will be offered to educators, master and Ph.D. students. The European faculty members, who will teach modules of the core seminar, are those who are involved in the research project. The contents of the core seminar represent the foundation and the starting point of the research activity which will be undertaken in this project. This core seminar will be implemented in Metro Manila with, among others, the participation of 60 banking and finance educators from Metro-Manila and from the four autonomous campuses.
