Protection of persons reporting cases of violations of the law at their workplaces in the Visegrad Group countries, France and Slovenia is the subject of research of the WhistlePro Visegrad Grant, coordinated by Dr Dagmara Skupień, from the Faculty of Law and Administration of the University of Lodz. The results of scientific research have just been published in open access in the form of a monograph.

The monograph was created as part of the Visegrad Grant “Whistleblower protection in the workplace in the Visegrad Group countries, France and Slovenia” – WhistlePro (2020-2021), financed by the International Visegrad Fund. They were coordinated by the Faculty of Law and Administration of the University of Lodz, in cooperation with the Charles University in Prague, the Gáspár Károli University of the Reformed Church in Hungary, the University of Maribor, the University of Tours and the University of Trnava.

The research concerned such issues as freedom of expression in relation to whistleblowing, the subjective and objective scope of whistleblowing in the context of the European Union Directive on the protection of whistleblowers, protection of whistleblowers against repression, or proper shaping of internal and external signalling channels.
