Internationale Zentralbankkurse
Die Deutsche Bundesbank bietet seit 1995 internationale Zentralbankkurse für Zentralbankmitarbeiterinnen und -mitarbeiter aus aller Welt an. Die Kurse finden entweder als Präsenzveranstaltung oder online statt (siehe Kursbeschreibung, bitte bei der Anmeldung beachten). An den in englischsprachigen Kursen können bis zu 20 Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter von Zentralbanken teilnehmen. Aus Platzgründen kann nur ein Teilnehmer/eine Teilnehmerin pro Zentralbank eingeladen werden. Jährlich nehmen über 600 Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter von Zentralbanken aus rund 80 Ländern an unseren Internationalen Zentralbankkursen teil.
Ziel der Kurse ist es, über die rein fachliche Wissensvermittlung hinaus ein internationales Forum für den Gedanken- und Meinungsaustausch zu bieten. Die Bundesbank verfolgt daher bei der Gestaltung ihrer internationalen Zentralbankkurse einen differenzierten Ansatz. Je nach Zielgruppe (Führungskräfte, Spezialisten, Berufseinsteiger oder Nachwuchskräfte) werden die Kurse als Seminar, als Kurs mit praktischen Anteilen (z. B. am Computer), als Diskussionsforum oder als reiner Workshop konzipiert. Die Kursdauer variiert zwischen drei Tagen und einer Woche.

Python – a crash course for central bankers
The course is designed for staff working in information technology, statistics or research departments at central banks and regulatory and supervisory authorities with an interest in applying machine learning methods with Python. It is not aimed at those who already have extensive and advanced knowledge of Python.
Indeed, little prior knowledge is expected, and the necessary Python skills are covered at the beginning, making the course suitable for previously inexperienced staff. It may be interesting for those who wish to switch from the programming language R to Python.
