EBA Summer/Winter Schools and other educational seminars

The EBA regularly organises educational seminars on payments-related topics. The main objective of this educational programme is to provide professionals with new insights into key business, technology and regulatory developments impacting the European payments industry.

The courses combine interactive group work with lectures and presentations delivered by academics and practitioners. The faculty at the EBA seminars includes senior experts from banks, universities, corporations, law firms, consultancies, or IT and infrastructure providers.

Each year, around 100 payment professionals attend the EBA’s educational programme, which is seen by many EBA Members as an integral part of the professional training and development they offer to their high-potential staff.
