BRIDGEGAP - Bridging the Gaps in Evidence, Regulation and Impact of Anticorruption Policies

BRIDGEGAP是一个多学科研究项目，将ANTICORRP财团(透明国际、ERCAS/SAR、CSD、PISA大学、佩鲁贾大学)的前成员重新团结在一起，他们继续投资于开发数据共享空间，以便根据客观数据(例如廉正观察、公共廉洁指数、T指数、俄罗斯经济足迹)了解和监测腐败，并与发表了衡量洗钱活动的新方法的新学术伙伴(乌得勒支大学)、在自由民主国家(IFFS)开创腐败研究的人类学家和犯罪学家以及乌克兰组织YouControl等新的IT组织、第一个将数据互连起来，通过其算法跟踪资金来搜索受制裁个人的资产。BRIDGEGAP填补了关于腐败渗透开放社会的程度和机制的知识空白，甚至跨越国界，它通过其创新的模型和社会网络地图对国家和时间的腐败进行衡量。它还评估数字透明度差距并提供解决办法，从透明度工具、在腐败和反腐败中使用和滥用技术，到目前的状况。最后，它评估了欧盟和候选国的公共问责和反腐败监管，以确定监管和影响方面的差距，从而解决了腐败研究中学术界与政策之间的差距。这项研究将导致学术出版物以及互动分析和研究共享空间，如比较法储存库欧盟指南针、欧洲透明度指数，在新的互联数据库中跟踪货币搜索引擎。其所有汇集的数据将作为数据中心透明地显示在网站上，并将为最终用户提供与项目研究人员相同的调查和分析工具，邀请众包并提供在线教程。

BRIDGEGAP is a multidisciplinary research project reuniting former members of the ANTICORRP consortium (Transparency International, ERCAS/SAR, CSD, University of PISA, University of Perugia) who have continued to invest in the development of data commons allowing corruption understanding and monitoring on the basis of objective data (e.g. Integrity Watch, Index for Public Integrity, T-Index, Russian Economic Footprint), with new academic partners who published novel methods to measure moneylaundering (Utrecht University) anthropologists and criminologists who pioneered corruption studies in liberal democracies (IFFS), and new IT groups like the Ukrainian organisation YouControl, the first to interconnect data to enable searches of the assets of sanctioned individuals through its algorithm Follow the Money. BRIDGEGAP fills the knowledge gaps regarding both the extent to and the mechanisms by which corruption infiltrates open societies even across borders and it produces measurements of corruption across countries and time by its innovative models, as well as social network maps. It also assesses and offers solutions to the digital transparency gaps, ranging from the tools of transparency, the use and abuse of technology in corruption and anticorruption to the state of it. Finally, it assesses public accountability and anticorruption regulation across EUMS and candidate states to identify regulatory and impact gaps, thus addressing the academia–policy gap in corruption studies. The research will result in academic publications as well as in interactive analytical and research commons like comparative law repositories EU Compass, European Transparency Index, Follow the Money search engines across newly interconnected databases. All its pooled data will be displayed transparently on the website as a Data Hub and will offer end users the same investigation and analytical tools as the project researchers, inviting crowd-sourcing and offering online tutorials.
