i4S announces a collaboration with Prof. Dr. Wim Hardyns and the Serbian companies KBV DATACOM Ltd and Sistemi. This partnership places UGent at the forefront of theoretical-driven criminological sciences, highlighting its global commitment to innovation.
This initiative began with a constructive dialogue involving His Excellency Ambassador Tasic from the Republic of Serbia, Aleksandar Davidovic, and Rik Van de Walle. What started as a conversation has evolved into an ambition for multi-field cooperation.
The focus is on establishing a Big Data Lab for policing at Ghent University, led by Wim Hardyns. With an ERC Grant to his name, this collaboration accelerates the valorization process and contributes to innovative societal impact.
