With the Partnership inviting proposals for a funding call under its Transnational Organised Crime Theme, academic researchers are encouraged to explore possible collaborations.
To support this, researchers and practitioners are invited to submit offers for collaboration that can be shared with others interested in the call. It is hoped this will facilitate networking opportunities and lead to the creation of collaborative research groups. Offers may include research partnerships, case studies, datasets and secondments.
