Second ECB Annual Research Conference

25 and 26 September 2017

Main Building, European Central Bank, Frankfurt am Main
Conference Room C5.01, Grossmarkthalle

Conducting state-of-the-art research is one of the ECB’s core tasks. World-class research and dialogue between economists in academia and in central banks has become all the more important as the number and complexity of issues relevant for the ECB have grown in the post-crisis world.

The ECB Annual Research Conference is the ECB’s flagship research event covering the fields of monetary economics and finance, bringing together some of the leading academics in these fields. The conference features a keynote lecture named in honour of Jean Monnet, which is delivered by an outstanding academic on a topic of relevance to strengthening European Monetary Union.
