4th General Conference on Organised Crime

In collaboration with the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies, the Scuola Normale Superiore and the University of Pisa. our Standing Group on Organised Crime (SGOC) invites you to its hybrid 4th General Conference, taking place from 4-6 July 2022.

The Conference follows on from previous editions held in Naples (2015), Bath (2017), and Sofia (2019). In light of the logistical, security and budgetary challenges resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic, the next edition will be held as a hybrid event – partly in person in Pisa, and partly online.

With a view to stimulating both scholarly debate and policy developments, the Conference offers a unique platform to collectively dissect, diagnose and discuss the characteristics, resources, strategies and modus operandi adopted by traditional and emerging criminal organisations operating both at the local and global levels, as well as the evolution of the responses at multiple levels and by different actors (international organisations, law enforcement, communities, social movements, etc.).

Please note that no mixed/blended Panels will be permitted. You will be asked to indicate, when submitting your proposal, whether you wish to take part in person (in Pisa) or online.
