The UK National Crime Agency is interested in cooperation within the Horizon Europe Programme
Department of the NRFU ‘Horizon Europe Office in Ukraine’ informs that the National Crime Agency is looking for partners to form a consortium for joint participation in Horizon Europe Programme calls, in particular within Cluster 3 ‘Civil Security for Society’.
The National Crime Agency leads the UK’s fight to cut serious and organised crime, protecting the public by targeting and pursuing those criminals who pose the greatest risk to the UK. The agency has two main functions:
A ‘crime reduction function’ of ensuring efficient and effective activities to combat organised crime and serious crime are carried out (whether by the Agency, other law enforcement agencies, or other persons);
A ‘criminal intelligence function’ of gathering, storing, processing, analysing, and disseminating information that is relevant to, among other things: activities to combat organised crime or serious crime and activities to combat any other kind of crime.
This is a great opportunity for any consortium seeking to include law enforcement agencies among its partners.
We invite interested organizations from Ukraine that plan to apply for relevant Horizon Europe Programme calls to consider including the UK National Crime Agency in the consortium. Contact email address: TRACER.SCRM@nca.gov.uk.
