Training and qualifying practitioners, researchers and students in anti-corruption is increasingly requested, utterly needed, but still in its infancy.
For many years now we developed a training program that fills this gap, joining the world of theory with the world of practice. An analysis of political,
economic and organizational incentives allows participants to obtain a profound understanding of the forces that are at play. Survey techniques and
statistical analysis confront theory with data. Interactive tools such as games, poster presentations and case studies involve participants
and make them acquainted with today's challenges. Prof. Johann Graf Lambsdorff and his team have spearheaded models for reform related to such issues as
contract penalties, compliance systems, debarment, procurement, leniency and corporate liability. Participants are introduced into this body of research.
This international event continues to be offered on a pro bono basis. It is directed towards anti-corruption policymakers and practitioners, as well as towards graduate and post-graduate students and faculty in the social sciences. |
