SUERF/Narodowy Bank Polski Conference 2019 | Société Universitaire Européenne de Recherches | 15 February 2019 | Narodowy Bank Polski (Polish National Bank), Świętokrzyska 11/21, 00-919 Warszawa, Poland

SUERF is the abbreviation of the Association’s original name "Société Universitaire Européenne de Recherches Financières", under which the Association was originally registered.

SUERF is a non-profit association established on 25 November 1963 in Louveciennes, France, by a group of academics and bankers from France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Belgium. SUERF’s focus is on the analysis, discussion and understanding of financial markets and institutions, the monetary economy, the conduct of regulation, supervision and monetary policy, and related issues.

SUERF’s strength lies in bringing together three pillars of members: central banks and supervisors, financial industry representatives and academics. Members are drawn from all over Europe and beyond. SUERF is soundly governed by its Council of Management, which comprises high-ranking representatives drawn from SUERF’s three pillars of members.

SUERF’s objectives are:

To promote contacts between practitioners (whether in the public or private sector) and academics, and to act as a forum for the discussion of monetary and financial issues;
To organise international events and meetings, focussing on topics central to members’ interests and, as appropriate, jointly with other like-minded bodies;
To sponsor and publish policy-oriented, practitioner-friendly, original research in these areas by both academics and practitioners.
