The World Fellows

President, Transparency International Slovakia

The World Bank, the Open Society Institute, the European Commission, and the British Department for International Development are just a few of the international institutions that rely on Emilia Beblavá to help them understand corruption in formerly communist countries. As president of Transparency International Slovakia (TIS), Beblavá uses publicity campaigns, fundraising, and lobbying to fight institutional corruption. She is affiliated with the Institute of Public Policy at Comenius University in Bratislava, where she teaches courses on anti-corruption strategies and multilevel governance, and is a member of the advisory board for the UNDP Regional Center for Public Administration Reform based in Athens. She is also engaged in several research projects dedicated to transparency, ethics, and corruption in the public sector.
