korrwiss

The aim of KorrWiss (= KorruptionswissenschaftlerInnen) is to provide an interdisciplinary platform for young corruption researchers to communicate and exchange their ideas. The network covers about 100 members from Germany, Austria and Switzerland who share their research, corruption-related information, conference calls. In addition, to make exchange more personal, alternating KorrWiss members organize regularly colloquiums in different German cities (see below). Each colloquium provides all members the opportunity to discuss their work in progress, completed research outputs, and ideas for future projects, as well as to hold methodological workshops.

The main objectives of KorrWiss are:

1. To connect young German speaking corruption researches (up to post-doc level).
2. To promote interdisciplinary work and to value and respect different perspectives, definitions, and methods of corruption research.
3. To discuss research on a peer level. The network is not open to senior researchers. All contacts take place on a level playing field and the discussion culture is informal. 
4. To support other members in a constructive way without any form of research competition.
5. To feel responsible for the community. KorrWiss is a community that relies on the activity of its members. Everyone is invited to become engaged (in any way) in supporting members of the group.
