Non-tArgeted foRensic multidisCiplinary platfOrm for inveStigation of drug-related fatalitieS
Events & News
The NARCOSIS project is participating in the Pitch Match Innovation Forum “Enrichment and Novelty in Law Enforcement Training” (PIMIF), hosted at the headquarters of CEPOL.
NARCOSIS has accepted CEPOL’s invitation to contribute to this forum, which brings together innovation-driven initiatives supporting the future of law enforcement training in Europe.
About NARCOSIS
NARCOSIS - Non-tArgeted foRensic multidisCiplinary platfOrm for inveStigatIon of drug-related fatalitieS is a Horizon Europe Innovation Action that strengthens EU and Member State capacity to detect, assess, report, and respond to drug-related events.
The project integrates AI-supported analytics, data fusion across orthogonal sensors, and intelligence analysis, enabling laboratories to operate within a federated, connected information-sharing network.
Why PIMIF matters for NARCOSIS
Training is a core pillar of the project. Upcoming activities within WP5 (Validation, Demonstration, Training and Evaluation) and WP6 (Impact, Dissemination, Diffusion and Standardisation) focus on:
- hands-on training for practitioners during lab and field demonstrations,
- realistic scenarios involving NPS, seized drugs, and drug-related fatalities,
- reusable training materials, user handbooks, workshops, and demonstrations.
What NARCOSIS brings to the table today
The contribution presented at PIMIF focuses on the operational use of the NARCOSIS platform, including:
- AI-enabled tools and decision-support workflows,
- evaluation of usability and effectiveness in real end-user environments,
- alignment with law-enforcement training needs - without creating new CEPOL programmes.
Expected practitioner-oriented outcomes
Participation in PIMIF supports:
- alignment on early-warning and forensic use cases,
- identification of pilot opportunities with law-enforcement practitioners,
- translation of NARCOSIS results into tangible operational benefits for LEAs,
- enrichment of training portfolios with practical exercises, digital forensic workflows, and validated use cases.
We look forward to exchanging with practitioners and training stakeholders and to ensuring that advanced forensic innovation directly supports operational law-enforcement needs.
