Following the establishment of the Center for Community-Based Policing and Post-Conflict Police Reform (ICT4COP Center) in early 2022, Ingrid Nyborg invited the Center’s newly formed Advisory Group to a digital meeting on March 24.
Kick-off Advisory Group Meeting
The members of the Advisory Board were recruited from participating partners in the Horizon 2020 ICT4COP Project which was completed in 2020. The purpose of the meeting was to follow up with the group on what they had done since the completion of the ICT4COP project, introduce the two ICT4COP Center interns, present what the Center has done so far, and brainstorm ideas and activities for the future.
Funding Award
The ICT4COP Center is also excited to announce that we have received funding from the Research Council of Norway (Forskningsrådet) and look forward to further developing the Center with these funds. The funding will be used to, among other things, arranging a series of workshops in Norway with relevant actors over the next two years.
