On September 24-25, LAGO attended the CERIS Annual Event on Fighting Crime and Terrorism in Brussels, Belgium. This year's event explored the importance of online harms and practitioners' involvement in security research.

Organised by the European Commission's DG HOME, the two-day event served as a collaborative environment where participants exchanged knowledge, showcased accomplishments, explored potential partnerships, and collectively strengthened European cooperation in the field of security research.

Prof. Dr. Marco Gerke from partner Cybercrime Research Institute represented the LAGO project, contributing to the panel discussion on the "Implications of the AI Act for research efforts in fighting online crimes."

While last year's focus was on improving access to research data, this year's participation underscores the project's dedication to understanding the evolving landscape of law enforcement in the digital age.

LAGO remains set on fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange within the security research community, ensuring that research outcomes translate into practical solutions for a safer society.
