Difference between revisions of "About the Global Informality Project"

Our start-up small research grant was given by the UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies (5K). The book benefitted from Alena Ledeneva’s fellowship at the Paris Institute for Advanced Studies, with the financial support of the French State managed by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche, programme ‘Investissements d’avenir’ (ANR- 11- LABX- 0027- 01 Labex RFIEA+). The website and editorial activities were mainly supported by the dissemination funding of the European Union Seventh Framework Research Project, ‘Anti- corruption Policies Revisited: Global Trends and European Responses to the Challenge of Corruption’ (ANTICORRP, 2012– 17, Grant agreement No: 290529). We are grateful to our partners in the European Union’s Horizon 2020 project on ‘Closing the Gap Between Formal and Informal Institutions in the Balkans’ (INFORM, Grant agreement No. 693537). The UCL European Institute has helped with publication cost and dissemination and has been a supporter of the UCL-SSEES-IAS Centre for the Study of Social and Cultural Complexity (FRINGE). The cooperation with Digital Humanities was funded by the UCL Centre for Humanities Interdisciplinary Research Projects (CHIRP) in 2014– 16 (5K).
