PERIVALLON

PERIVALLON is a project funded by the European Union that aims to provide an improved and comprehensive intelligence picture of organised environmental crime and develop effective and efficient tools and solutions for detecting and preventing such types of criminal activities and for assessing their environmental impact based on 

  • geospatial intelligence,
  • remote sensing,
  • scanning,
  • online monitoring,
  • analysis,
  • correlation,
  • risk assessment, and 
  • predictive analytics technologies 

by leveraging the latest advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the fields of computer vision and multimodal analytics. 

As a result, enhanced investigation processes and methodologies will be derived through the capabilities provided by the developed tools and solutions, and the insights obtained though the proposed Environmental Crime Observatory. The capacity of end users (including Police Authorities and Border Guards) will also be improved and will enable them to tackle such criminal activities in an effective manner based on advanced tools and solutions and also on the innovative training curricula developed using physical and/or digital twins of relevant environmental crime scenarios. Moreover, improved international cooperation will be facilitated through improved data sharing enabled by blockchain technologies, while improved regulation shaping and tuning will be supported through relevant policy recommendations. 

PERIVALLON will be validated in field tests and demonstrations in four operational use cases. Extensive training, hands-on experience, joint exercises, and training material will boost the uptake of PERIVALLON tools and technologies. 

With a Consortium 5 Police and Border Guard Authorities, 3 authorities related to environmental protection, 6 Research/Academic institutions, 8 industry partners (including seven SMEs), one EU Agency, and one Foundation, PERIVALLON delivers a strong representation of the challenges, requirements and tools to meet its objectives.

UNIVIE serves as a legal consultant in the PERIVALLON Project, assisting with DPA drafting and compliance with European legislation regarding data protection and privacy. Further information on the project is available at the Project's website, here and in ucris.

This project has received funding from the European Commission under the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement no 101073952.
