Conferences, workshops and seminars

Professionals are better able to protect the Union’s financial interests through the acquisition of new skills, knowledge of specialised methodologies and techniques as well as an increased awareness of fraud risk indicators and the Union’s anti-fraud policy priorities. More opportunities to network and exchange best practices are expected.

The aspects that will be analysed to measure these results will include the number of events and number of participants, their origin and professional background, and the level of participants’ overall satisfaction with the events.

Organising conferences, workshops and seminars and creating networks and structural platforms between Member States, candidate countries, other third countries, EU institutions and international organisations, in order to:

• facilitate the exchange of information, experience and best practices, including in the field of data analysis;
• create networks and improve coordination between Member States, candidate countries, other third countries, EU institutions and international organisations;
• facilitate multi-disciplinary cooperation between anti-fraud practitioners and academics on protecting the Union’s financial interests, including support to the ‘Associations for European Criminal Law and for the Protection of EU Financial Interests’;
• raise the awareness of the judiciary and other legal professionals of this matter.
