As before, the meeting intends to bring together a small number of specialists to have an informal conversation about the measurement of corruption. This will be the nineteenth installment of a series of meetings planned for 2022-23.
The time frame set is not ideal for Japanese, but the theme is interesting and I would love to attend.
