Corruption is the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. What does this mean? How do we see this in politics, business, and mutual relations? How corruption and dirty money is a national security risk, also in the frame of the war in Ukraine? What can we do to fight corruption and promote transparency? Everyone will be able to contribute to the discussion.
