Crime&tech, partner of the EMERITUS project funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme, will take part in the project’s Final Event on 1 July 2025 in Turin, Italy.
EMERITUS (Environmental crimes’ intelligence and investigation protocol based on multiple data sources) focuses on strengthening the fight against waste-related environmental crimes, which are highly profitable for criminal networks due to low detection risks and complex enforcement challenges. The project developed a one-entry-point intelligence platform that combines satellite data, drone surveillance and innovative monitoring and analysis technologies to support evidence collection and improve detection rates.
As leader of Work Package 2, Crime&tech has contributed to the design of an investigative protocol for law enforcement and border authorities. Based on operational needs and best practices, this protocol will support standardised, intelligence-led investigations, and has been integrated within the EMERITUS platform.
The Final Event will present the project’s key outcomes, showcase tools and methodologies, and explore their application in real-world environmental crime investigations.
