IACA Launches the First Global Master in Anti-Corruption

The International Anti-Corruption Academy–s (IACA)
new Master in Anti-Corruption Studies (MACS) will train professionals
from all sectors of society to better understand the phenomenon of
corruption and apply innovative tools in devising sustainable
strategies to prevent and counter it.

The inaugural class, consisting of 30 participants from all
corners of the globe, with various professional backgrounds, will
come together for the first on-site module on 16 February at the IACA
campus in Laxenburg, Austria. A panel discussion will take place on
22 February, with participation open to the general public.
The two-year, part-time Master programme serves as an enhancement to
professional development, offering advanced career opportunities in
fields such as compliance, internal oversight, law enforcement,
investigative journalism, academia, finance, and international
affairs.

The MACS is interdisciplinary, providing technical assistance,
knowledge and skills for building capacity in the field, and tools
for helping bridge the gap between theory and practice. It combines
distance learning with seven on-site modules, six of which will take
place in Laxenburg, Austria and one in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Key
elements of this academic programme also include teamwork,
interactive learning, and professional networking.

Apart from the Master programme, IACA – an international
organization with Members States from all regions of the world –
offers a range of anti-corruption trainings, seminars, and research
opportunities. Coming this summer, the third International
Anti-Corruption Summer Academy will take place from 4 to 13 July.
Applications are due on 15 March. A Best of seminar featuring
internationally accredited political scientist Robert Klitgaard is
scheduled for 10 and 11 July, with the registration period closing on
3 July.
