The IMF Institute organizes several seminars and conferences each year on topics of current interest to which well-known experts and senior officials are invited. These events are held at the IMF headquarters and are sponsored by the IMF Institute, often in cooperation with other Fund departments. Given the limited facilities available, participation is by invitation only.

The IMF Institute also holds departmental seminars in which Institute staff present their current research. These seminars are open to IMF staff and by request to others outside the Fund.

Recent conference papers are available online. For conferences before fall 1999, see Publications for a list of conference volumes.
