In light of the COVID-19 response, our Asia Pacific Integrity School events will no longer be run face-to-face
Registered participants can still access the activities online and will have been provided with links to join the discussions
The Asia-Pacific Integrity School is a 5-7-day intensive program equipping professionals and young people from all walks of life with the policy understandings and analytical skills to undertake effective integrity and anti-corruption measures in their own institutions and societies.
A partnership between Transparency International Australia and Griffith University’s Graduate Certificate in Integrity & Anti-Corruption program, the Asia-Pacific Integrity School is designed for:
- young professionals seeking to make a difference in integrity, ethics, compliance, corporate governance and management in their organisations (public or private).
- civil society organisation members and staff seeking to understand and combat corruption challenges and pressures on integrity in modern society.
- policymakers and advisors seeking to understand global and regional corruption trends and what can be done about them.
- business experts seeking to ensure their companies are keeping pace with the requirements and imperatives of responsible business conduct.
- educators seeking to expand the content and impact of integrity and anti-corruption teaching in undergraduate and graduate programs.
