SCOB is a research center founded at the University of Antwerp (History of the University of Antwerp) in 1999 when we obtained the official price lists of the Brussels Stock Exchange (Euronext Brussels by now). SCOB obtained also the price lists and archives of the Antwerp Stock Exchange (1844-2002), as well as the archives of the Liege Stock Exchange and the Ghent Stock Exchange (1902-1992).

The main goal of SCOB is to study the financial data and history of the Belgian Stock Exchanges and the companies listed on it.
