The aim of this workshop is to discuss the preliminary results of projects funded by the Hub. Presentations will be given on some interim findings to open up a general discussion and encourage a cross-fertilization of ideas from members of the Network. Each presentation will last for around 30 minutes, followed by a discussion. The workshop will commence at 10.00am and is due to finish at 6.00pm (tbc). We are also pleased to host a lecture by Sandra Batten (Bank of England) on the the impact of climate change on Central Banks.
