Presented by: Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics and MIT Center for Civic Media
Over the last five years, hundreds of researchers, journalists, activists, and scholars from a variety of fields have come together at Harvard University's Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics, under the direction of Lawrence Lessig, to investigate, map, and find solutions for institutional corruption around the world. After five years of research and reporting, we need your help in translating this work from the academic sphere into usable tools for the public.
Join us for a two-day, multidisciplinary hackathon to build tools to address the systemic, legal corruption that is weakening our public institutions around the world.
Help us solve problems of institutional corruption in areas such as government, law, medicine, public health, academia, finance, and economics. Participants with the best projects will be invited to present at the Ending Institutional Corruption Conference at Harvard Law School on May 2.
