THESEUS Project 

The project aims to enhance the quality and relevance of education in the field. It aims to equip future professionals in governance, security and political science with the right tools to understand, correlate in an ethical manner and expand data knowledge for social good. It brings together experts from different fields (IT, law, intelligence, communication sciences) and it creates synergies between their different areas of competence in order to:

• share the theory and applications of multi-use big data solutions;
• increase awareness of both their usefulness and ethical implications;
• deliver an integrated training course specifically tailored to the needs of targeted professionals.

While the project partners have a highly developed expertise in each of these fields, their integration will provide a specifically unique profile with added value to the courses to be delivered. The target groups addressed by the project are security and law enforcement practitioners; and policy makers, applied and academic social scientists – main faculties and departments to be addressed are Political Science, Governance and Public Administration, Sociology, and Security Studies.

The project aims to create two intellectual outputs. The first is a detailed course syllabus, and the second is an interactive training resource which will implement that syllabus.
