During the year, the ILF contributed towards its role as a policy center by providing a neutral forum and meeting point for different players in the financial sector. The ILF provided many opportunities for discussions via conferences dealing with the consequences and effects of the financial crisis such as Prof. Dr. Dres. h.c. Theodor Baums “Too Big to Fail - Do we need special rules of bank resolution?” and “Quo Vadis Finanzbinnenmarkt?”. The Corporate Finance Summit and the Economy, Criminal Law and Ethics (ECLE) Symposium which have become important milestones at the ILF attracted many experts in the specialized fields to come together to exchange viewpoints and discuss changes for the future. We had the privilege of having Director Dr. h.c. Joachim Gauck as our special speaker who delivered a lecture on “Zwischen Furcht und Neigung - die Deutschen und die Freiheit” to more than 250 attendees.
