GRACE ATTENDING EAFS 2022

‘Together for a Safer World’ – Stockholm 30th May – 3rd June 2022

The European Academy for Forensic Science (EAFS) 2022 is the biggest Forensic Science Event in Europe. The Global Response Against Child Exploitation (GRACE) project is extremely pleased to announce that project partners will be attending the conference from 30th May to the 3rd June 2022 in Stockholm.

EAFS is a public event of the European Network of Forensic Science Institutes (ENFSI). This year’s conference is organised by the Swedish National Forensic Centre (NFC) with the motto “Together for a Safer World”, chosen by the organisers to emphasize the importance of cooperation in order to meet future expectations on the forensic community, a concept at the very heart of the GRACE project.

GRACE will be present at EAFS on Thursday, June 2nd, the European Day of the Conference, a day promoted by the organisers to facilitate the possibility to learn about developments and results from forensic projects across Europe, many financed by the European Commission through the Internal Security Fund (ISF) and Horizon 2020 programmes.

To that end, the GRACE team will be showcasing the project to the many expected participants, at booth AL8, where you will be able to find out all about the project’s aims, objectives, and its remarkable achievements so far. GRACE Coordinator, Vicomtech Research and Technology Organization (Spain) will attend the stand with the support of partners Policia Judiciaria (Portugal) and the National Institute of Criminalistics and Criminology (NICC, Belgium), both ENFSI members.

GRACE is an EU-funded Horizon 2020 project that aims to equip LEAs with advanced digital and analytical tools that improve their operational capacity to address child sexual exploitation material. 22 organizations across 14 countries in Europe have come together to deliver GRACE which will run until 2023 and has received €6.8m in funding from the European Commission.
