Who stands behind LRCC
The LRCCs are (anti-)corruption experts in all the European Union member states. They advise the European Commission on corruption issues providing local and thematic knowledge. The work of the LRCCs is coordinated by Ecorys, The Quality of Government Institute, and the Interdisciplinary Corruption Research Network.
The LRCC is also part of the EU Network Against Corruption, an umbrella forum for all stakeholders in the EU to exchange good practices, opportunities, ideas and plans for further work.
The Consortium is a close collaboration between three entities
