The active participation of the students, from the General State Administration, the regional and local administration and the state public sector, has materialized through weekly synchronous sessions. Through these meetings, international and national regulations regarding the fight against corruption have been clarified, as well as the work of the authorities in charge of fraud prevention, the IV Open Government Plan and Law 2/2023, of February 20, regulator of the protection of people who report regulatory infractions and the fight against corruption, among other matters.
