Networking and Collaboration in Project Clusters
PRESERVE is active member of the following Project Clusters:
Initiated and coordinated by the sister project AVALANCHE, the AI4SafeEurope Cluster brings together the eight complementary Horizon Europe projects AVALANCHE, CEASEFIRE, ENSEMBLE, FERMI, GANNDALF, NOTIONES, PRESERVE C-UAS, and PRESERVE (AI) working at the intersection of AI, security, and law enforcement.
The AI4SafeEurope joint newsletter is regularly published as a guest article in the PRESERVE newsletter and featured on the PRESERVE webiste:
The Law Enforcement Agencies (LEA) Projects Cluster, led by Privanova under sister project SafeHorizon, unites interdisciplinary EU-funded projects relevant to the law enforcement community.
A coordinated effort took place during the organisation of the Joint Stakeholder Workshop in October 2025 in Madrid. The second edition of the Networking within the Security Research Community! event series was organised by PRESERVE in cooperation with the sister projects SafeHorizon and ENSEMBLE, and the LEA Projects Cluster.

Sister Projects
AVALANCHE
AI-Powered OSINT Detection, Analysis and Secure Information Exchange
AVALANCHE will develop an innovative, high-tech solution empowering law enforcement agencies (LEAs) to combat the evolving threats of hate speech, disinformation, and deepfakes, leveraging advanced open source intelligence gathering, AI-driven analytics, and cross-border intelligence-sharing. AVALANCHE will enhance the ability of LEAs to detect, analyze, track, investigate and prevent high-risk criminal networks activity, focusing on malicious synthetic media use, coordinated influence campaigns and online incitement-bolstering resilience.
CEASEFIRE
Advanced versatile artificial intelligence technologies and interconnected cross-sectoral fully-operational national focal points for combating illicit firearms trafficking
Ceasefire will develop a highly innovative, holistic, multi-disciplinary, high-tech and versatile approach for aiding EU Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) in their struggle to detect, analyze and track cross-border illicit firearms trafficking. It will deliver relevant, advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and will establish fully-operational National Focal Points (NFPs), aiming to increase LEA operational capabilities and alleviate existing organizational, cooperation, cross-jurisdictional, trans-border and information exchange challenges.
ENSEMBLE
Leveraging AI-based technologies and multi-stakeholder collaboration to combat advanced cyber threats across borders
The ENSEMBLE project aims to combat cross-border cyber-crime using advanced AI-based technology, multi-stakeholder investigation processes, training, and awareness. It will innovate response against cybercrime with a modular AI-based, forensically sound investigation toolbox; a particular focus on ransomware, cyber fraud, data theft and extortion as well as unauthorised access and crypto-jackings, and fight sophisticated cyber-threats, capitalising also in joint multi-stakeholder operations.
FERMI
Fake News Risk Mitigator
Millions of citizens across Europe use the internet to look out for every type of information. Unfortunately, there are actors that exploit these instruments to spread disinformation and to manipulate public opinion, causing distrust in science and legitimate governments and often resulting in criminal actions.
FERMI develops a framework to detect and monitor the way that D&FN spread, both in terms of locations and within different segments of the society, and to put in place relevant security countermeasures.
GANNDALF
NextGen Collaborative Cybercrime Investigation Framework
GANNDALF aims to enhance the fight against advanced cyber threats by:
Notiones
iNteracting netwOrk of inTelligence and securIty practitiOners with iNdustry and acadEmia actorS
The NOTIONES project seeks to build and maintain a pan-European ecosystem of security and intelligence practitioners in order to (1) monitor technologic opportunities and advancements and best practices and (2) define and refine requirements and standardization needs.
In order to achieve this objective the project, coordinated by TECNALIA, combines the expertise of 29 partners from 21 different countries; including 15 military, civil, financial and judiciary practitioners as well as local, national and international law enforcement agencies.
PRESERVE C-UAS
Protecting euRopean public spaces against Emergent hoStile drone thrEats thRough an adVanced multidimensional shield and cross-border intelligEnce
PRESERVE will deliver a trustworthy, transparent, and easy-to-use Hybrid C-UAS C2 platform supporting Police Authorities with the prevention, early detection and optimal management of operational response against current and emergent threats in drone technology, increasing the security of citizens in public spaces and contributing significantly to the novel EU Counter-UAS policy. By fusing heterogeneous data from an array of physical sensors and online sources, the project will tackle the so far unmanageable threat of weaponised consumer drone swarms through open-source knowledge by non-state actors.
SafeHorizon
Preventing Crime-as-a-Service with Cutting-Edge Tools and Intelligence
SafeHorizon aims to tackle the emerging threat of Crime-as-a-Service (CaaS) by harnessing intelligence from various sources including the clear web, deep web, dark web, public dumps, and law enforcement datasets. By integrating these data streams with machine learning technologies, the project seeks to extract actionable evidence for legal use.
