Designed for those working and researching across law, economics, and policy, and professionals navigating sustainability within institutional mandates, the conference offers a space to engage with new research, challenge prevailing assumptions, and exchange perspectives with an international, interdisciplinary audience and a curated panel of experts in the field.
Organized by the Competence Center of Sustainability: Finance, Law, Sciences, and the Humanities and the ILE-HSG Institut für Law and Economics, and hosted by Prof. Kern Alexander and Prof. Seraina Grünewald, the programme connects rigorous scholarship with practical relevance — supporting those shaping the future role of central banks in a changing climate landscape.
For those engaging seriously with sustainability in central banking, this is a conversation worth being part of.
