Project background

Cybercrime evolves rapidly, while law enforcement capabilities differ across Europe. Knowledge, tools and collaboration were fragmented. The project was launched to help practitioners identify gaps and address them through joint work.

Project objectives

• Law enforcement agencies: identify capability gaps and share best practices
• Research and academia: provide insights on new methods and technologies
• Companies: offer solutions and tools for operational use
• All stakeholders: build a sustainable European network to combat cybercrime
