On the 30th of September 2020, we successfully conducted the first field test of ROXANNE. This field test was first of a three series Field Test events which will be held during the three-year lifetime of the project spanning from September 2019 to August 2022. This event was attended by more than 90 individuals, bringing together representatives from the law enforcement, technology experts, policymakers, and research community from all over Europe.
ROXANNE’s first field test will take place on 30th of September, where a wide group of end users, namely Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs), Stakeholder Board members, Ethics Board members as well as DG Home experts, will provide input and feedback on the platform. This field test will focus on Speech and Text Analytics with preliminary Network Analysis. During this test, training activities as well as evaluation sessions will be conducted to ensure a well-rounded assessment for further analysis and development of ROXANNE platform.
As part of an initiative led by Trilateral Research, ROXANNE has joined a cluster of security projects along with CC-DRIVER, COPKIT, DARLENE, INSPECTr, PREVISION, PROTAX, and RAYUELA. The coordinators of these projects are collaborating on shared issues and topics of interest. This allows the projects to help each other in achieving greater impact and knowledge dissemination both within the projects themselves and through their networks. This cluster also intends for the project partners to invite each other to their events in order to share ideas and results looking forward to future research collaboration. These collaborations will enable the projects to work together and collect different perspectives on tackling common issues in order to collaborate on joint solutions. This collaboration could span research on technical, ethical, legal, and data protection issues, amongst others.
