Advances in Anti-Corruption: Current Trends and Future Prospects

The BIT-ACT project together with RESPOND - Rescuing Democracy from Political Corruption in Digital Societies are co-organizing the event "Advances in Anti-Corruption: Current Trends and Future Perspectives". The event will be held online on the International Anti-Corruption Day – on December 9, 2024 from 3pm-6pm (CET).   

This event is structured around three panels, each designed to foster meaningful discussion and exchange of ideas on researching and combating corruption, and their impacts.  

The first panel will present different experiences in anti-corruption research, with guest speakers from the Quality of Government (QoG) Institute and from three ongoing international research projects: BRIDGEGAP, FALCON and KLEPTOTRACE.   

The second panel will delve into the key findings of the BIT-ACT project, that has just arrived at its end. The closing remarks of BIT-ACT will shed light on innovative anti-corruption technologies that have emerged from grassroots efforts in nine countries and at the transnational level, along with the main challenges faced by these initiatives.  

Finally, the event will conclude with a roundtable featuring RESPOND partners, who will be focusing on the impact of corruption on democratic processes. This discussion will bring together perspectives from both academic researchers and practitioners, offering a comprehensive view of the issue at hand. This roundtable is a great opportunity to know more about our partners and research.  

The event is open and free of charge. To attend it, please register here.
