University Meets Microfinance (UMM) is a European initiative which fosters cooperation between university students in Europe and microfinance practitioners to contribute to microfinance education, microfinance research, information capitalization, professional exchange & dissemination of information. All UMM activities are carried out under the umbrella of the European Microfinance Plat­form (e-MFP) in the frame of the e-MFP Action Group “UMM”.

UMM has been initiated in 2009 by PlaNet Finance and Freie Universität Berlin with the support of the European Union, the PlaNet Finance Foundation and other partners. Since 2012, UMM is co-financed by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and receives further support from the European Union from 2013-2015, the Freie Universität Berlin and Capgemini Italy.
