Title: Learning Opportunities, inStruments and Investigation Techniques to fight the growing phenomenon of missing people in Europe
Main Theme/Area of intervention: Social Inclusion
Main objectives:
- Improve the competences of the trainers & technical operators in the crucial first investigation phase
- Define a new core professional profile supporting any law enforcement agency in the research/investigation
- Increase and improve social policies of local Public Institutions to support and protect families and in general their local communities from this phenomenon
- Develop a new operative model that can be easily transferred in any EU country by using innovative and open ICT tools
- Increase the awareness among social groups and communities of social society with the cooperation of Local Public Administrations

Main activities necessary for its realisation: 1 on-line training course was created. There is an open free access to these innovative training courses from the website of the project to everyone who is interested. (Awarded by the Italian NA)
Results achieved: We succeeded in having a sustainable co-operation between partners, organizations for missing people, experts in missing people cases, public authorities and other stakeholders. This cooperation is very useful, as all parties will act as loudspeakers about the phenomenon of missing people in Europe (in Greece focusing on refugees too).
Qualitative indicators. Cooperation with Universities, Colleges, Organisations for Missing People, Public Authorities etc.
The important factor is that organisations from other EU countries and abroad (Sweden, Cyprus and UK) than the partner countries began collaborating!
Innovation: Moreover, the project intellectual outputs will be available to the public through the official website of the project (https://lost.team/ )
Transferability: This practice can easily be transferred to another institution in any EU country, especially with the Greek course which focuses on minor refugees and immigrants. The Danish course which focuses on tech exploitation and seaside research and the Italian course of accessing, valorising, categorising and then exploiting the information. All these can easily be assessed and exploited in several cases which are widely needed all over EU and abroad
Impact: International
