Pierre Werner Lecture

Ce contenu est également disponible en français

In 2003, to mark the celebrations of its 5th anniversary, the BCL organised the first Pierre Werner Lecture.

This lecture is a way of paying tribute to Pierre Werner, to a man who devoted his life to serving both his country and Europe and whose passionate interest in monetary matters, coupled with his idealism, contributed decisively to the progressive shaping of a monetary union and its single currency today shared by 18 countries.

As a member of its Council, Pierre Werner contributed actively to the inception of the Central Bank of Luxembourg as a link in the European System of Central Banks which he already outlined in his seminal report in 1970.

The Pierre Werner Lecture aims at being a regional forum focusing on subjects relating to central banking issues. Whereas in a first stage it will take form of a traditional lecture, the aim is that it should develop in the medium term into a seminar in cooperation with research institutes and universities.
