TIS’s advisory body is the Alliance for transparency and fight against corruption. It suggests topics and areas that TIS should be focusing on, TIS’s long term efforts and people who could be working on the individual activities and who could form ad-hoc specialised working groups. Professor Juraj Stern heads the Alliance.
