The workshop aims to bring together a small number of talented Early Career Researchers (approximately 9) to present and discuss their research at an advanced stage. We welcome research in any field of financial history, including, but not limited to; banking history, financial markets, financial crises, sovereign finance and capital flows. Papers helping to understand how policymakers and market actors use the past in shaping their decisions and performing economic activity are particularly welcomed. Priority will be given to graduate students, although applications from postdoctoral fellows are also welcomed.

Each paper will receive 30 minutes (10 min presentation, 10 min discussion, 10 min Q&A). Presenters are also expected to act as discussants. The meeting starts at 09.30 am and will end at 05.30 pm, followed by networking and socialisation events afterwards.

NOTE: Lunch and dinner will be provided. However, applicants are expected to cover their accommodation and travel expenses.

Keynote speaker: Prof. Rui Esteves, Graduate Institute Geneva
