About us
Established in January 2016, the Florence School of Banking and Finance (FBF) was designed as a European platform bringing together policy makers, practitioners and academics from the banking and finance sector to develop a common culture of regulation and supervision in the European Union. The School is evolving into a knowledge centre of excellence, rooted in European origins while maintaining a global perspective. It offers policy dialogue and training courses and produces research in banking and finance.
FBF is part of the Robert Schuman Centre (RSC), an inter-disciplinary research centre at the heart of the European University Institute (EUI). The EUI is the leading institute in Europe dedicated to social sciences and humanities.
