After the 10-year-funding period for the South African-German Centre for Transnational Criminal Justice has ended on 31 December 2018 (you can find all information on the Centre in our archive), it is time to explore new possibilities of cooperation and exchange. The high number of very successful and active Alumni of the Centre has inspired us to set up the African-German Research Network for Transnational Criminal Justice, which aims to provide our Alumni with the basis and the resources to further their academic and personal exchange. Among the activities within the network are annual conferences for each of which there will be a call for papers. In addition, three so-called “Working Groups” have been established. They provide a basis for interested Alumni to research and work together on specific topics in the field of transnational criminal justice.
