WP12 focuses on communicating, disseminating, and ensuring the long-term impact of RESPOND’s findings. The main objective is to share the project’s developments with a broad range of stakeholders, particularly society, and to ensure the knowledge generated has a lasting influence beyond the project’s duration. The work involves creating a comprehensive communication plan, maintaining a dynamic online presence, and organizing the final conference. It also includes establishing an open data repository on political corruption, developing a toolbox for co-creation activities to support anti-corruption initiatives, and conducting surveys to assess participants’ learning and expectations. Finally, the project aims to create a European Hub for Anti-Corruption Action to sustain collaboration and knowledge sharing after RESPOND’s conclusion.

WP11 focuses on transforming research insights from RESPOND into practical solutions for combating political corruption and promoting political integrity across the EU. This involves developing legislative recommendations, enhancing stakeholders’ capacities through the use of open data, and providing tools for improved understanding of political corruption. Key activities include co-creating policy recommendations through Policy Labs, producing guidelines for effective communication about corruption for journalists and media, and improving the accessibility of open data through an enhanced Global Corruption Observatory. The work package also involves creating and piloting evidence-based anti-corruption training programs aimed at a variety of audiences, including NGOs, journalists, and public officials. These programs will be refined and disseminated through “Training of Trainers” sessions to ensure widespread impact and sustainability.
