On 19 June 2026, the Centre of Excellence in Terrorism, Resilience, Intelligence and Organised Crime Research (CENTRIC), together with the Project Coordinator (M4D group at CERTH-ITI) of VANGUARD, had the honour of presenting to representatives of the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Training (CEPOL) a demonstration of the VR-based Serious Game developed within the project to enhance the training of security practitioners, as well as a presentation of the Awareness Raising Game – RED FLAG, also developed during the project’s lifespan to challenge beliefs and attitudes about Trafficking in Human Beings, targeting youth and young adults, professionals working with them, and the general public.
Follow-up discussions with CEPOL experts paved the way for intensifying efforts toward the future uptake of these solutions, enabling also VANGUARD to contribute to CEPOL’s mission and vision of making Europe a safer place through law enforcement training and learning.
