At the Frontiers of Economic Crime

During the fall of 2025, students worked on issues proposed by organizations actively involved in the prevention of economic crime. On December 11, the results of their work will be presented to representatives of these organizations during a symposium organized in collaboration with the International Centre for Comparative Criminology (CICC). This event is an opportunity to exchange on current topics related to economic crime and to support knowledge transfer between student research and professional practice—both ways!

December 11, 2025 – Room B-1248, Pavillon Lionel-Groulx, Université de Montréal
