The inaugural workshop was planned for 5-6 November 2020 at theUniversité de Lille, but had to be postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the related confinement measures. The topic of focus was “Recent Trends in International Reserves: Theory and Evidence”, and remains the same for the 2021 edition at the University of Reading. The website with the materials for the postponed Lille workshop can still be consulted, here.
