As we do not see (m)any reactions here, we decided to stop posting on X. We will keep this account, so you can still find us here and our previous posts. But if you want to receive the latest news, follow us on LinkedIn 😊 👉linkedin.com/company/falcon…

We are always looking for good #synergies – that’s why we participated at the final event of the @MultiRate_EU project on 28th May in Athens. The project developed a multidisciplinary and holistic evaluation method &calculation that measures the TRL of the outputs of EU projects.

@transcrime Thanks for sharing!

How does #corruption operate across Europe and what actions are needed to counter it? The @FalconProjectHE released a new Brief on corruption schemes and impact across multiple domains, with policy recommendations for prevention. 👉 Read the report: transcrime.it/en/publication…

Halftime! Our Interim Review has been very successful!🎉- A great motivation to continue our work, now with a focus on finalising our tools and develop a solid exploitation strategy. If you want to learn more about FALCON, you can now find all public deliverables on our website.

The online event has been organised by the @SEREN5_HEU project, which is like FALCON funded under Horizon Europe. It is kind of a „meta project“ as it focuses on aiding & supporting other EU-funded security research projects. You find the recording on YT: youtube.com/watch?v=EMdAwl…

Today our project coordinator @jadamop presented FALCON at Cluster 3 Pre-Info Day „Paving the way to participation“. She outlined FALCON’s success story, introduced our partners & objectives, highlighted our key achievements, and concluded with an outlook on future directions.🔀

@UmweltDialog und vielen Dank fürs Teilen 😊🙏

@UmweltDialog Taggt uns gerne beim nächsten Mal :)

The FALCON Consortium wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎄🌟 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣ At our last plenary, we were able to unwrap some early Christmas presents: our technical partners gave us an insight into the FALCON tools🎁 [The frame of the picture is AI generated]

At the end of the day, everyone has a responsibility to prevent corruption. In addition to laws and tools, there must also be a change in people's minds. 🧠🔄 #anticorruption #AntiCorruptionDay

Corruption is a very complex phenomenon. With #bigdata and the help of #ai we try to get the bottom of it, and help law enforcement agencies to detect cases of corruption easier and faster. 🔬 #anticorruption #AntiCorruptionDay Raúl Orduna (@Vicomtech)
