SUMMARY:Crimes involving high-value unique goods (HVUG) are increasingly seen and strategically used as financialized instruments
DESCRIPTION:Crimes involving high-value unique goods (HVUG) are increasingly seen and strategically used as financialized instruments. \n Date: February 11th\, 2026\n Time: 15:00–16:30 CET \n🎟 Register here:  https://lnkd.in/dmHBnUrU \nThis webinar is a collaboration between the PRICELESS Research Consortium and the GLITSS COST Action Working Group 1. Crimes involving high-value unique goods (HVUG) are increasingly seen and strategically used as financialized instruments. This webinar examines two types of HVUG\, namely Artworks and Watches\, and how (Financial Crime) Scripting is used as a method to analyse their role in the financial crime commission processes. The webinar will start with an introduction of the PRICELESS Research Consortium by Dr Christoph Rausch. This will be followed by four presentations by researchers within the consortium\, focusing on their respective fields of expertise. \nBronte Isabella will outline the design and scope of her 14-month ethnographic research on art appraisal in the Netherlands; Maja Dehouck will present her work on the role of art market participants as capable guardians against exploitation/abuse of market structures; and H. Konstantin Jänicke will present his research on Greyness in the Luxury Watch Sector. The final presentation will be given by Dr Thom Snaphaan and drs Katrien van Bergen\, and will explore how data on the valuation and trade of HVUG can be used for Financial Crime Scripting to uncover patterns and identify new (potential) intervention points. This session will explore the valuation and security implications of unique and financial crime-related goods\, featuring insights from leading experts: \nDiscussant:\nH. Konstantin Jänicke\, Maastricht University \nPresenters:\nDr. Christoph Rausch\, Maastricht University\nDr. Thom Snaphan\, Center of Expertise Veiligheid & Veerkracht\ndrs. Katrien van Bergen\, Center of Expertise Veiligheid & Veerkracht\nBronte Isabella\, Maastricht University\nMaja Dehouck\, University of Amsterdam \nDon’t miss this opportunity to engage with top researchers and practitioners in the field.

SUMMARY:We are very pleased to announce that GLITSS successfully held a workshop on 30 - 31 March to advance Volume 2 of the GLITSS Trilogy
DESCRIPTION:We are very pleased to announce that GLITSS successfully held a workshop on 30 – 31 March to advance Volume 2 of the GLITSS Trilogy\, titled Understanding the Causes of Illicit Trade. The workshop was hosted by the Estonian Academy of Security Sciences in Tallinn. \nOver the two days\, authors from diverse disciplinary backgrounds sought to clarify the types and nature of the causes of illicit trade\, while developing a shared understanding. The goal is to produce a coherent and comprehensive book that provides students\, researchers\, academics\, practitioners\, and policymakers with a clear understanding of the factors driving illicit trade and the mechanisms through which they operate. \nGLITSS thanks all workshop participants for their contributions\, which marked a significant step forward in the book-writing journey and demonstrated a strong commitment to supporting its completion in the upcoming stages.
