‘Finlux’ reading group meetings
The ‘Finlux’ reading group meetings is a place for researchers to discuss banking and financial history and to reflect on how to best write the history of the Luxembourg financial centre.

From its inception, the C2DH has decided to make the history of the Luxembourg financial place one of its main research priorities. In this context, the 'Finlux' reading group is meeting on a monthly basis. It is a place for researchers to discuss banking and financial history and to reflect on how to best write the history of the Luxembourg financial centre going forward. To broaden its perspective, the group regularly invites experts from all around Europe.
