On 17th September, colleagues from the Italian National Police, invited by the Hungarian Presidency of the EU, had the opportunity to present LAGO to the 27 delegations representing the European LEAs, Europol, and the EU Commission. The concise presentation was well-received by the Presidency and the EU Commission which underlined the importance of the LAGO project as a pioneering approach addressing the long-standing issue of dataset scarcity—a challenge that has become increasingly crucial with the rise of AI tools and the AI Act. 

The EU Commission advised delegates to consider the LAGO project as a good example of addressing the dataset challenges and expressed hope that the LAGO approach could serve as a model for future collaborations.
