The ECB Simulation Conference for university students is more than just a conference. It is a complete learning and participation experience. From preparation to simulation and networking, every stage is designed to bring you closer to the way institutions and the market operate, and to how decisions are made in practice.
This stage begins once most participants have been confirmed and is aimed at preparing them meaningfully for the Conference themes. It includes the distribution of educational material and essential information, optional preparation calls, and ongoing communication with the organising team for questions and clarifications.
The first day of the Conference follows a seminar format, featuring distinguished speakers from institutions, the market, and academia. Its purpose is to help participants understand the key themes and connect them with real-world developments.
These are the core proceedings of the Conference, during which the committee sessions and the simulation take place. During this stage, each committee’s Agenda is discussed, negotiated, and shaped.
The final day has a more interactive character. It includes fireside discussions, workshops, roundtable discussions, and networking opportunities with companies and organisations.
