Sourcing data for the next generation of illicit finance research

March 5 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
A digital promotional graphic for a GI ACE online seminar titled “Sourcing Data for the Next Generation of Illicit Finance Research.” It displays the date and time—Thursday 5 March, 2–3 PM GMT—with headshots of five speakers: Liz Dávid‑Barrett (chair), Michelle Kendler‑Kretsch, Alexandra Gillies, Amra Dzonlic Zlatarevic, and Milo Z. Trujillo. Their names, roles, and affiliations appear beside each photo. Logos for GI ACE, UK International Development, the University of Sussex Centre for the Study of Corruption, the Anti‑Corruption Data Collective, and OCCRP are shown along the bottom.

Researchers are faced with an abundance of data that can illuminate the shadowy worlds of illicit finance, organised crime and corruption. But gaining access to these data, narrowing down to the most promising, identifying research questions, and making them usable in academic research can be laborious and time consuming.

This online seminar, organised in collaboration with the Illicit Finance Data Lab, presents recent work to lower barriers to such data. This ranges from tackling inconsistencies in public registries of corporate, property, and trade data available unevenly around the world, to handling sensitive leaks shared with journalism organisations and archives.
