TRANSFERING RESULTS TO SOCIETYS:

I have initiated a knowledge transfer initiative called “In-Compliance”, which is a Criminal Compliance Advisory Unit of the Institute of Criminology able to build compliance reports and risk assessment reports for private companies.

The team I´ve gathered is formed by three academics (legal and criminiology scholars) as well as four practitioners.

The initiative begun in 2018 and got to the last round at the Spin-off contest of the University of Malaga (2018), won the EXPLORER PRIZE (2019) and the VALORIZA PRIZE (2019) of the University of Malaga.
