A series of regular Studia Monetaria lectures, held at the Bank of Finland Museum, will continue in the spring of 2006.

These lectures will be given by leading experts in their respective fields, many of whom work at the Bank of Finland. The lectures are pitched at the general public and participation does not require any particular background knowledge.
The lecture series is open to all and free of charge. The lectures, all of which will be in Finnish, will be held on Tuesdays 5.30–7.00 p.m. at the Bank of Finland Museum, Snellmaninkatu 2, Helsinki.
