The RISE Project is a visual archive, an index of our times
RISE Project is a community of journalists, programmers and activists. We investigate organized crime and corruption affecting Romania and countries in the region
What are we do?
- The RISE Project uncovers hidden connections between criminal organizations, politicians and businessmen – using advanced investigative techniques and intelligence analysis technologies. We obtain documents from offshore areas and analyze large volumes of information. Then we create databases and put together the puzzle that they want to hide.
- RISE Project is not only a platform for publishing investigations but also a program for interactive visualization of unseen interests in Romania. It is a graphic display of people, businesses, disputes and connections – which is constantly growing, exposing underground networks.
