Exploring illicit trades with a focus on crypto assets
25 September - 26 September
Criminals have swiftly adopted crypto assets due to their pseudo-anonymity, non-traceability, and cross-border exchange capabilities, making them ideal tools for illicit activities. This workshop aims to explore emerging trends and innovative techniques for detecting, investigating, and preventing crypto illicit trades. Additionally, it intends to assess the feasibility of regulatory approaches and their implications for stakeholders such as law enforcement agencies, financial institutions, and policymakers.
The in-person workshop will be held at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, on September 25 and 26, 2024. It invites presentations from industry experts and scholars, as well as panel discussions and research paper presentations.
Deadline for Abstract submission: 7th of June, 2024
Participants are encouraged to share their latest research findings on different facets of illicit trade and the involvement of crypto assets. We invite you to submit an abstract outlining a project related to illicit trade and crypto assets for consideration as a presentation at the workshop.
Please submit your abstract to Lucas Tosi Rodriguez (Deputy Leader of WG3) via lucas.tosirodriguez@unil.ch) no later than June 7, 2024.
Travel and accommodation expenses related to the workshop will be covered in accordance with the COST Action Travel Reimbursement Rules.
