Spreading Impact: Communication, Dissemination, Exploitation in the SafeHorizon Project

In an interconnected world, effectively communicating research, findings, and project progress is crucial for maximising impact. The SafeHorizon project combats Crime-as-a-Service (CaaS) by using machine learning to extract legal evidence from the clear web, dark web, and law enforcement datasets. It equips LEAs, CERTs, and CSIRTs with an adaptable, user-friendly toolbox of enhanced open-source solutions. To ensure that our work reaches the right stakeholders and generates tangible change, Privanova has implemented a robust communication, dissemination, and exploitation strategy.

Building a Strong Visual Identity

A coherent and recognisable visual identity is the foundation of effective communication. We have developed a distinct branding strategy, including the project’s logo, color scheme, and visual materials. These elements are consistently applied across various communication channels, reinforcing SafeHorizon’s presence and making our materials easily identifiable.

Engaging Online Presence

A well-designed and informative website serves as the project’s primary digital hub. The SafeHorizon website provides key insights, project updates, and resources for stakeholders, law enforcement, policymakers, and the public. Regular updates in the Newsroom section ensure that visitors stay informed about our latest activities, reports, and achievements. The project's LinkedIn page further enhances engagement, reaching a broad audience of professionals and organisations interested in tackling human trafficking. Through posts highlighting conferences, publications, and collaborative efforts, we ensure SafeHorizon remains a relevant and dynamic project.

Informative Promotional Materials

To complement our digital efforts, we have created various promotional materials, including a project flyer, banner, and brochure. These materials provide concise, visually appealing information on SafeHorizon’s mission, objectives, and progress, ensuring that key messages are effectively conveyed at events and meetings.

Amplifying Impact Through Partnerships

SafeHorizon’s influence extends beyond traditional communication platforms. As a member of the LEA Projects Cluster, the project has gained global recognition, being featured on the UNODC platform. This membership enhances our visibility, strengthens collaborations with law enforcement agencies, and ensures our insights contribute to international efforts against cybercrime.

Commitment to Sustainable Impact

Beyond awareness, our dissemination and exploitation strategy ensures that SafeHorizon’s results are effectively utilised by stakeholders. By engaging policymakers, law enforcement, and NGOs, we facilitate the adoption of best practices and innovative approaches in real-world applications. Our continuous dissemination efforts contribute to policy development, training programs, and sustainable actions that extend the project’s legacy beyond its duration.

Looking Ahead

As the SafeHorizon project progresses, our commitment to impactful communication, strategic dissemination, and sustainable exploitation remains unwavering. By leveraging digital platforms and fostering collaborations, we ensure that our work drives real change, helping to combat cybercrime worldwide.
