I’m Radu Nicolae, a political scientist, but you can call me Don Quixote from La Mancha as well. This is because the struggles in the field of preventing / combating corruption and organized crime (trafficking in human beings, cybercrime, smuggling) often seem like wind mills. That only motivates me even more to take on an unequal battle with an extremely powerful enemy.
You will find me in the classroom, trying to pass on my knowledge gained in over 15 years of research in the field of preventing and combating corruption, or collaborating with institutions in the country and abroad as an anti-corruption expert.
And because social responsibility is as important as the fight against corruption, I am proud to have contributed, as a promoter, to the social reuse of goods confiscated from crimes in Romania.
