On April 28-30 2014, the Basel Institute on Governance held a workshop on Quantitative and Qualitative Research Methods on Corruption at the University of Basel, Switzerland. The workshop brought together a group of 18 academics, practitioners from governmental and non-governmental institutions, as well as private sector compliance officers from 9 countries (Armenia, Brazil, Colombia, Germany, Greece, Indonesian, Italy, Peru and Switzerland).

The interactive workshop involved structured lectures on research design and methodologies to address the challenges involved in researching corruption, as well as interactive practical group work where participants applied the concepts learned.

The next such workshop will be held in Fall 2014; exact dates will be announced on the Basel Institute's website in the summer.
