Workshop – Core Group and Deputies Meeting in Groningen in the Netherlands

Exciting days for the GLITSS COST Action CA21133 – Globalization, Illicit Trade, Sustainability and Security! Last week on 30.09. and 01.10. In 2025, we held the Core Group and Deputies Meeting in Groningen in the Netherlands, where we discussed the strategic directions and upcoming plans for the next year of the project.

A special focus of our discussions was on the three-volume book series that will be published next year, Policy briefs, Workshops, Webinars, Blog series, and many more important milestones that bring together the work, insights, and collaborations developed through our COST Action. It was inspiring to exchange ideas, align our goals, and continue building this vibrant research network across Europe and beyond.

If you would like your research to gain more visibility and expand your professional network, we warmly invite you to join our GLITSS activities and share your research interests. There are many opportunities to get involved in ways that best enhance you.

A big thank you to all colleagues and contributors for their dedication and teamwork; Together, we are making GLITSS COST Action grow stronger!
