Colombian lecture series: Citizenship, Integrity and fight against Corruption

„Cátedra colombiana: Ciudadanía, Integridad y Lucha contra la Corrupción“ is a series of weekly lectures and discussions during the academic year, established by the National University of Colombia, RedEtica and Procuraduría General de la Nación in 2021. The heiGOS research group, and its Organizational Crime Studies team specifically, are among the cooperation partners.

Its objectives are both academic and activist. The „Cátedra“ aims to explore the foundations, dimensions and strategies underlying transparency and integrity in social, economic and political areas. It constitutes a results of the protests of 2019 in Colombia where citizens identified corruption als one of the main hindrances on their way to a more inclusive society, to safeguarding human rights and to achieving peace in the country. With this in view, a set of diverse social stakeholders prepared a format for discussions and lectures on conceptual and normative aspects of citizenship, integrity and anti-corruption. In addition to communicating relevant scientific results on these issues, it will offer opportunities to translate these results into social change.
