Call for applications [closed: February 9, 2024]
Apply for the eighth Forum of the Interdisciplinary Corruption Research Network (ICRN), an event that aims to promote discussion on a wide range of topics related to corruption, anti-corruption
and integrity in a safe and collaborative environment.
The ICRN team is thrilled to announce that this eighth ICRN Forum edition will take place from June 27 to 29, 2024 at the Institute of Social Sciences of the University of Lisbon, one of the
leading institutions for research and training in the social sciences in Portugal.
The ICRN Forum is a dynamic gathering of international early career researchers from diverse disciplines, including but not limited to anthropology, economics, history, law, political science,
psychology, and sociology. As a participant, you will have the opportunity to present your research, exchange ideas, kick-start collaborative projects and take part in co-creation
sessions in the field. We more than welcome any theoretical and empirical contribution on corruption, anti-corruption, and/or integrity to be presented.
This eighth ICRN Forum is a platform for sharing research at different stages. Participation is targeted at a wide audience, inviting both scholars and practitioners to work together on
reducing the gap between research and policymaking in the field.
We welcome submissions to three types of sessions:
1. Research findings - presentations of researchers at more advanced stages of their research process. Submit here if you would like to present and discuss your research findings
with an interdisciplinary audience. By "advanced stages" we mean that the researcher is expected to already have carried out their fieldwork, collected data, conducted some degree of analysis,
produced some results (even if preliminary). We also encourage submissions focused on the promotion of completed papers, the discussion of fieldwork challenges, and/or possible analytical
pathways based on already-collected materials.
2. Work in progress - presentations of researchers currently at the early stages of their research process who wish to discuss their research design, expected/potential fieldwork
issues (i.e., before data collection), identified research gaps, and contribution statements. The objective of these sessions is for presenters to benefit from feedback on the initial phase of
their research work.
3. Co-creation - sessions focused on developing new research ideas and/or open collaboration projects; these may include ideas for a joint publication, teaching activities, or the organization of conference panels, as well as more innovative ideas that may advance corruption research. Applicants to a co-creation session are expected to volunteer to moderate (chair) the session. Proposals for a co-creation session must include a clear description of objectives, procedure, guiding questions, and any other elements considered relevant for the successful holding of discussions.
To apply, please fill in the registration form, choose your session type and provide an abstract (max. 300 words) for a respective session.
The deadline for applications is Friday, February 9, 2024.
