European Central Banking Network

The main objective is to examine national experiences by comparing both, the contents of national policy-designs as well as methodological approaches employed in analysing them. The main activities include two research events per year: a spring workshop hosted by one of the participating central banks and an autumn conference traditionally organised by the Bank of Slovenia and CEPR. By introducing the theme of the year through presentations of leading academics and financial institutions researchers, the workshop sets the ground for the conference, where researchers from participating central banks papers present their recent work on the selected topic. In 2016-17, these events were accompanied by specialised training activities organised by Florence School of Banking and Finance specifically for the network.
