DG Justice calls for transnational projects in the prevention of and fight against crime

20-06-2007

The European Commission’s DG Justice calls for trans-national projects in the field of the prevention of and fight against crime. Law enforcement agencies, local, regional and national authorities, social partners, universities, statistical offices, non-governmental organisations, public-private partnerships and relevant international bodies are all eligible to submit a proposal. Total budget for this call for proposals is 18.5 million euros. The deadline for submitting proposals is 16 July 2007.

Under this call for proposals, financial support will be provided in particular for:

actions improving operational cooperation and coordination (strengthening networking, mutual confidence and understanding, exchange and dissemination of information, experience and best practices)
analytical, monitoring and evaluation activities
development and transfer of technology and methodology
training, exchange of staff and experts
awareness and dissemination activities

The above mentioned activities are to be linked to two clusters of thematic priorities:

Horizontal approaches and crime prevention measures – such as innovative projects to develop a system for measuring crime and criminal justice, and projects that strengthen and professionalise the prevention of general crime (domestic violence, urban, juvenile and drug related crime).
Prevention of and fight against crime in specific areas – including trafficking in human beings, illicit drug trafficking and environmental crime.
