2022 CEPOL Research and Science Conference

Registrations for our next edition of the CEPOL Research & Science Conference that will take place in Vilnius (Lithuania) from 8-10 June, will remain open until 13 May 2022.

The European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Training (CEPOL) and Mykolas Romeris University are jointly organising this year’s conference entitled ‘Preparing Law Enforcement for the Digital Age’, a flagship event within the framework of CEPOL's Justice and Home Affairs Agencies Network presidency .

The Conference is open to officials of European law enforcement organisations and to qualified scholars from universities and research institutions, actively working with law enforcement institutions. This year the conference will take place at the premises of the Mykolas Romeris University in Vilnius and the plenary sessions will be livestreamed.

Around 70 papers, presentations and live demonstrations will offer valuable insights and spark lively discussions about the impact of new ground-breaking technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence, on the work and cooperation of law enforcement officials across Europe and beyond.

The Conference programme includes the following topics and tracks:

• Training and education of law enforcement officials IN and FOR the Digital Age

CEPOL Research and Science Conferences

Since 2003, the CEPOL Research & Science Conferences provide a stimulating intellectual environment that brings together ideas and perspectives of practitioners, trainers and educators in policing and other areas of law enforcement, with researchers and academic scholars from Europe and the international sphere. Participants of this forum can inform and be informed about new scientific findings, ongoing research projects and challenges for police and policing. Papers discussed during CEPOL Research and Science Conferences are published in a special Conference edition, so that ideas and knowledge can be shared within the law enforcement community, fostering and facilitating broader discussions and becoming a source of inspiration for the future.
