Tell us about the role of your company in this project. 

KEMEA – the Center for Security Studies in Greece – is a key partner in TRACY, contributing its expertise in security research, policy analysis, and the operational needs of law enforcement agencies (LEAs). As a government-affiliated research centre under the Greek Ministry of Citizen Protection, KEMEA bridges the gap between cutting-edge research, public safety policy, and real-world operational requirements. Within TRACY, we support the consortium by aligning technical developments with the practical realities of law enforcement, particularly in the context of serious and organised crime.

Can you give an update about the latest developments? 

Recently, we have been actively engaged in reviewing the TRACY platform’s pilot results and supporting the validation of the Data Analytics Roadmap. Our focus has been to ensure that the recommendations developed under TRACY are realistic, actionable, and aligned with broader EU security frameworks. We have also contributed to the cross-project dialogue, connecting TRACY with other initiatives within the EU security research ecosystem.

What are your company’s next steps in the project, in relation to the pilot site? 

In the final phase of the project, KEMEA will continue to act as a knowledge broker between research, policy, and operational practice. We will support the TRACY consortium in finalising the roadmap, ensuring alignment with the needs of European law enforcement agencies, and exploring pathways for the sustainability and potential adoption of TRACY’s outcomes in the future.
