1. WP and Pillar leader meeting

2. One of our key goals: High quality academic publications ( journal articles and books)
Several ways to achieve this
Concern: how to find time for research….

3. Benefits of contacts Shortcuts to the academic frontier
Opportunity to put results in a larger perspective
Opportunity to see the effect of different methodological choices asking similar questions
Opportunity to identify new collaborators
Increase the quality/innovation of our results
Opportunity to identify the researchers that arrive at a different conclusion and understand why
Build a strong network of anticorruption scholars in europe

4. Potential ways in which fellow WPs may be interesting
Asks a similar question
Produces similar results
Achieves conflicting results, reaches different conclusions
Methodologically interesting

5. How can a WP/ pillar leader  ensure that their work package will benefit from the work conducted in other WPs in the program?

6. Introduction to Discussion
Plurality is good
No commitments: search for the ideal!
Output: a list of things to choose between!
10 minutes+10 minutes

7. Thanks for your input!

8. Comments
Skype conversations within and outside pillars. Discuss problems, cross research issues.
Pillar leaders trying to create synergies between pillars.
Organise seperate meetings with several WPs.
Present WPs results between WP leaders.
WP leaders should provide an updated list of issues, that may be relevant for other WPs. Every two months.
Joint publications. Problem is that you don‘t really interact that much.
Extra time for presentation of deliverables at the consortium meetings.
Encourage people to read deliverables. Facilitate: Abstracts, executive summaries. Circulate it quicker not waiting for acceptance

9. More comments
Skype meeting on specific deliverables to discuss the main findings. Reading is not enough, we need to meet and discuss. More time for research discussion and focus on interesting results.
May be too late to wait until the next general meeting. Coordinator should organise this.
Link work to other WPs. Circulation of info. „Sponanous institutionalisation“. Too much focus on end results. Important also to share methodologies, codebooks etc.
Add a „data page“ on the webpage.
Exchange ideas about methodologies before the flood of deliverables in 2015.Seminars and workshop.
Joint workpage meetings. Discussing each others papers.

10. Even more comments
Circulating scientific parts of the Periodic report and give feedback.
Those who are not extremely busy in the project may be asked to review and discuss papers and deliverables.
Cross references of definition.
Workshops and take advantage of natural opportunities, e.g. Conferences.
Specific sessions on methodologies and findings and even better, drafts on these things.
More about research. Find general themes that cross WPs and pillars at the next general meeting and arrange the meetings around them.

11. Thanks!

12. MB preliminary list of examples
Use meetings ( like this one) to produce a list of new potential collaborator WPs
Broaden your scope when looking for collaborators
Arrange webconferences on a regular basis with the WPs you would like to collaborate with
Share interesting paper and abstract with these WP leaders
research themes that you are interested in to some or all other WP leaders and ask what is going on on this theme

Share information on the webpage
Think about fellow WPs when you organize panels at conferences

13. continued

Can the findings of the different WPs be constructively compared and contrasted, and if so, how?
How can WP leaders help ensure that deliverables are used for academic publications, as well as for stipulated deliverables?
