Presentations 2020 - online!

The 38th Cambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime

Economic Crime - Who Pays and Who Should Pay?

The decision to postpone the Thirty-Eighth International Symposium on Economic Crime until 2021 was inevitable in the face of the current Covid-19 pandemic. The programme will now take place from Sunday 5 to Sunday 12 September 2021 and registration is available on this website. 

The Organising Institutions of the symposium felt, however, that we should not allow this September to pass without affording at least some of our speakers the opportunity to express their commitment to the fight against economic crime. While we decided not to attempt to hold a virtual symposium as this could not adequately reflect the character of the Cambridge symposium, we have invited some of those who were scheduled to speak this September to address us online. We are deeply grateful for the support we have received. Of course, it was not possible for us to extend this invitation to over 600 speakers and panellists in the programme, but we do feel that the excellent online presentations that we have give a taste of the symposium and indicate its level of expertise, relevance and breadth. 

While the programme for 2021 will in substance be what we had scheduled for 2020 it will be updated and amended as appropriate. We do hope that you will be able to join us at Jesus College, Cambridge for the 38th International Symposium and I look forward to receiving you.
