Past Event
Bruegel’s Annual Conference
Bruegel's Annual Conference is a closed-door event with three panel discussions on banks and capital markets, growth perspectives, and monetary policy and central banking.
This event is part of Bruegel’s Annual Meetings which offer a mixture of public sessions and restricted workshops, where Bruegel’s scholars, members and stakeholders can discuss the policy challenges facing the European economy. In 2015 these events are also part of Bruegel’s 10th anniversary celebrations, for which we are organising a series of events in the capitals of our member states. These debates, talks and conferences will bring crucial European topics to audiences across the continent.
