From October 7-14, 2006 the University of Passau offers the annual lecture "The Economics of Corruption - A University Lecture on Good Governance and Reform"

After six successful courses a revised and further improved lecture is held by Prof. Dr. J. Graf Lambsdorff. The course will be given in English and is directed towards graduate and post-graduate students and faculty in the social sciences, as well as towards a wider audience, including anti-corruption policymakers and practitioners.

For the first time, this year's lecture will be supplemented by training/workshop sessions covering specific anti-corruption issues such as the UN Convention Against Corruption, the design of criminal codes, corporate liability, blacklisting, whistle-blower protection, and ombudsmen. One training/workshop session will cover in detail the Corruption Perceptions Index's statistical setup and background. The training/workshop sessions are targeted towards anti-corruption policymakers and practitioners. For more information please go to:
