FAQs

  • What makes a session proposal successful?

    It should concentrate on one of the following:

    Evidence and perspectives. Workshops should examine new revelations about corruption and the fight against it, bring forward successes and reflect on the failures of past interventions, or provide an in-depth examination of how corruption manifests itself and how it impacts our societies. (This may include a discussion of cases, new research into patterns of corruption or progress assessments.)

    Solutions and responses. Workshops should bring forward solutions – traditional or innovative – as well as foster consensus around reform proposals, find new allies among IACC participants or demonstrate the way forward to achieve change.

    Future trends. Workshops should envision the future of corruption and anti-corruption efforts or offer insight into how current opportunities and threats may shape our fight in the years to come and ultimately contribute to the design of new strategies.

    Good submissions should demonstrate how the workshop will:

    • Provide clear follow-up actions.
    • Incorporate a diversity of gender, sector, race, geographic and other perspectives among panellists or contributors, including people with direct community-level experiences of corruption.
    • Focus on solution tools and novel approaches.

    Workshop proposals are more likely to be successful if they consider one of the following cross-cutting questions:

    • What is the call for action?
    • How do we scale up investment in solutions?
    • What insights can new or younger voices offer?
    • How do we involve business in the solutions?

  • What workshop formats are available?

    Each workshop at the IACC will last 90 minutes and should leave time at the end for questions from the audience. We offer two different workshop formats for you to choose from. We will do our best to accommodate your choice:

    • Interactive Circle

      This is a fishbowl-style, interactive set up. Conversation and debate with the audience are encouraged; lengthy presentations and PowerPoints are discouraged.

    • Panel Debate

      This is a traditional panel set up, with a table at the front of the room facing the audience. Fewer presentations and more discussions are ideal. Good moderation is key; welcoming questions from the audience is essential.

  • What is the timeline for workshop proposals?

    The call for workshop proposals is open until 15 February 2024. Successful proposals will be announced in March . All workshop coordinators will receive an email from the IACC team at Transparency International ([email protected]) regarding the status of their proposal from 15 February to March 2024.

  • Can the IACC provide financial support for successful workshops?

    With thanks to the hosts of IACC 2024, there may be a limited amount of funding available to support workshops that would not otherwise be able to take place at the IACC. The fund is limited, and priority will be given to members of civil society and speakers from low-income countries. Workshop proposals accepted for inclusion in the IACC agenda will have the opportunity to apply for this fund to cover an economy flight to Vilnius and accommodation at the IACC hotel. The policy and guidelines for the application will be shared with successful workshop coordinators in March.
