We sincerely hope you all are well, and keeping safe during this global pandemic.
After much discussion among our core organizing team as well as our host institution, we have reached the difficult decision to postpone our 2020 Forum to June 2021. In light of
the current global health crisis, the travel restrictions etc, it seems the most feasible to ensure everyone's well-being, and the well-being of the Forum.
It's not all disappointing news though. We are glad to announce that we will be hosting the Forum virtually next year around the same time and we appear to have confirmed
almost all funding for then too. Importantly, in the interest of fairness, applicants that were accepted will not need to re-apply. We will send out a link to ask you to confirm
participation, just in case your plans have changed.
In case any of you have any outstanding queries, please do not hesitate to email us. We will do our best to get back to you as soon as possible.
Our very best wishes to you all - from a safe social distance of course :)
We are a network of corruption researchers from different disciplinary, national and cultural backgrounds. We believe that exchange and collaboration is paramount to foster the understanding of the complex and socially harmful phenomenon of corruption.
The vision of the Interdisciplinary Corruption Research Network is to reconcile
varying perspectives into a constructive outlet for the progression of scientific research
on corruption.
The overarching goal of this program is to enhance the quality of scientific research on corruption, its sources and consequences as well as on good governance with the ambition to boost its application in the policy-making and implementation domains .
We intend to achieve these goals in two main phases:
This program is innovative insofar as it will be the first such interdisciplinary network of scholars committed to scientific research on corruption and good governance. Furthermore, it will be a pioneering effort in knowledge transfer from academia to the policy and implementation spheres on these issues.
