ECB-CFS Research Network

In April 2002 the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Center for Financial Studies (CFS) launched the ECB-CFS Research Network to promote research on "Capital Markets and Financial Integration in Europe". The Research Network aims at co-ordinating and stimulating top-level and policy-relevant research that significantly contributes to our understanding of the current and future structure and integration of the financial system in Europe and its linkages to the financial systems of the United States and Japan. On 12 July 2006 the Steering Committee proposed to extend the work of the network for three more years after completion of the second phase in fall 2007. For this third phase three new priorities were selected, replacing the 8 priorities that were active until 2007.
