The Anti-Corruption Research Network (ACRN) is an online platform and the global meeting point for a research community that spans a wide range of disciplines and institutions. ACRN is a podium to present innovative findings and approaches in corruption / anti-corruption research, a sounding board to bounce off ideas and questions, a marketplace to announce jobs, events, courses and funding. The periodic spotlight section also looks at specific corruption issues and highlights key research insights and contributions on the selected topic.
The online platform is designed to ensure a high degree of user input and interaction. Registered users of ACRN can comment on posted items and they are able to create their own user profiles and connect with other corruption experts across the globe. They can subscribe to targeted information streams from the web platform using RSS. The forums can be used by members to seek peer advice, brainstorm new ideas and the Calendar and the Marketplace can be used to share information on upcoming conferences, funding opportunities or jobs.
ACRN is run by Transparency International
