4th IFC Workshop on Data Science in Central Banking

The BIS Irving Fisher Committee on Central Bank Statistics (IFC) is delighted to announce its upcoming 4th workshop on "Data Science in Central Banking," co-hosted with the Bank of Italy (BoI). For this workshop particular emphasis is placed on the exploration of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its potential applications in central banking.

This event aims to gather a diverse audience of practitioners, specialists, and interested stakeholders from central banks, international organisations, national statistical offices, and beyond.

The workshop, taking place in Rome on 18-20 February 2025, will be held in person with the option of virtual participation for non-presenters. Our primary objective is to highlight ongoing projects and exchange experiences that can help foster in-house expertise and lessen reliance on external service providers. Projects with replicable code that is open source or sharable between authorities will be particularly appreciated.

More information on the first three workshops is available here.
