Last week, the General Assembly of the European project Arien successfully took place in Maribor. The Horizon Europe-funded ARIEN project uses AI-powered tools and a holistic innovation approach to help law enforcement agencies fight against illicit drug production and trafficking – always with strong ethical and legal compliance.

On behalf of the Institute for Corporate Security Studies (ICS), we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all ARIEN project partners who joined us at the General Assembly in Maribor – and especially to our coordinator Ernesto La Mattina for his dedication and leadership.
