Communication and Networking on International Anti-Corruption Day 2024

December 9th is known as International Anti-Corruption Day since the passage of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption in 2003. This year, we took the opportunity to engage in various activities, spreading the word about the FALCON project. In particular, we posted numerous video statements on Twitter/X, in which consortium members highlight the motivation and unique approach of FALCON. In addition, FALCON participated in the online event “Advances in Anti-Corruption: Current Trends and Future Prospects”.

New ways for better understanding and fighting corruption: Social scientists, data analysis experts and law enforcement practitioners join forces in EU research project FALCON

Whilst there is no doubt about its detrimental effects, corruption is a complex phenomenon that is hard to precisely grasp and measure. Thus, policy decisions are poorly informed, and technological tools to support the fight against corruption are lacking. The recently launched Horizon Europe project “Fight Against Large-scale Corruption and Organised Crime Networks (FALCON)” will tackle these challenges. The kick-off meeting was held September 20-21 in Athens.

FALCON is funded under the Horizon Europe Framework Program Grant Agreement ID 101121281.
