Detecting and countering illicit financial flows: Researchers' network

As part of the Detecting and countering illicit financial flows project, we bring together an informal network of leading international researchers working on the topic of international tax and illicit financial flows.

The network came together for the first time in November 2020 - online, due to COVID-19 pandemic. 

The purpose of the research network is to serve as a platform to stimulate high-quality research in this rapidly evolving field. Activities involving the network include hosting webinars where colleagues can present their work to other researchers, encouraging collaboration between researchers working on similar issues, receiving advice on research gaps to guide the calls for research proposals, and creating a dynamic list of data sources relevant for studying illicit financial flows.
