Modern information analysis for fighting crime and terrorist

Novel, modern and validated technologies, tools and training curricula to prevent, detect and investigate terrorism and other forms of serious crime.

Expected Outcomes: Projects’ results are expected to contribute to the following outcomes:

  • European Law Enforcement Agencies and other relevant practitioners are provided with better, modern and validated tools and training materials to tackle those activities related to disinformation and fake news that are considered as crime or could lead to a crime and that are supported by advanced digital technologies;
  • European common approaches are made available to policy-makers and security practitioners for analysing risks/threats, and identifying and deploying relevant security measures related to disinformation and fake news, which take into account legal and ethical rules of operation, cost-benefit considerations, as well as fundamental rights such as privacy and protection of personal data; 
  • Improved support in shaping and tuning of regulation on disinformation and fake news by security policy-makers, including on standardising evidence collection and harmonising procedures in the investigation of cross-border crimes; 
  • Improved understanding of the cultural and societal aspects of disinformation and fake news, as well as on the key challenges related to it; 
  • Enhanced perception of security thanks to an increased awareness of the citizens about the value of verified and trustworthy data sources and their content, obtained through education materials on trustable sources of information.
