The Standing Group on (Anti-)Corruption and Integrity invites abstract submissions for the 2026–2027 academic year of ECPR Corruption and Integrity Research Perspectives, its monthly online seminar series.
We invite researchers at all career stages, across disciplines and geographical contexts, to submit proposals for the seminars of the 2026 – 2027 academic year. Contributions may address any aspect of corruption, anticorruption, or integrity.
We welcome conceptual and normative analyses, empirical studies, and methodological contributions, including research on institutional accountability, political influence, civil society, digital technologies, and the design and assessment of anticorruption policies. Proposals will be selected based on their relevance to corruption and integrity research, originality, and potential to stimulate scholarly discussion. We also aim to ensure diversity in disciplinary perspectives, methodological approaches, geographical contexts, and career stages across the seminar series. Work in progress is warmly encouraged. Selected presenters will be asked to provide a working paper or presentation slides for pre‑circulation through the event portal. Please submit a paper title and abstract, together with your name, institutional affiliation and email address, via the online form by Monday 26 October 2026.
Find out more about the details of submissions here.

The Standing Group on (Anti-)Corruption and Integrity brings together scholars from different disciplinary, national and cultural backgrounds to further promote and deepen academic knowledge on: (i) corruption, an issue of increasingly significant public and political concern across the globe; (ii) the strategies and policy solutions that seek to address the problem; as well as (iii) the evolving concept of public integrity, both as an end in itself and as a corrective to the dominant anti-corruption approaches of the last quarter century that have delivered disappointing results. The perceived stagnation of existing work and approaches, coupled with the ever-increasing recognition that corruption poses a threat to political trust and stability, underlines a growing need to move (anti-)corruption studies in a new direction. There has been a growing number of new developments in this regard, both in policy and research, thereby making the foundation of this group very timely, but there remain core questions that need to be addressed.
