A free webinar on how corruption adapts – and how to stay ahead of it.

Corruption does not disappear under pressure – it adapts. Join us for a deep dive into our latest research on how corrupt networks evolve in response to anti-corruption measures and controls, and what this means for designing interventions that remain relevant and effective over time.

Researchers from the Basel Institute on Governance will present the analytical framework behind this work and share case study insights from Italy, Bulgaria and the Netherlands. The webinar will highlight findings from the EU-funded FALCON project and explore practical ways to anticipate emerging corrupt practices before they take root.

We are honoured to welcome Dr Maria Nizzero to discuss the findings and their implications for efforts to target large-scale corruption and organised crime.

The session will conclude with ample time for questions and discussion.
