CVD Kick-off Centre for safety and digitization.

On the 18th of May, the CVD Centre for safety and digitization had their official kick-off. The CVD  is a collaboration between several companies and other organisations around Apeldoorn and the knowledge institutes University of Twente, Saxion University of Applied Sciences, and the Police Academy aiming to make the Apeldoorn area the center for safety and security in The Netherlands. The CVD established a research program which is currently composed of six Ph.D. projects. The DMB group is involved in one of these Ph.D. projects with the aim to “Obtain Actionable Intelligence for Cold Cases with Open Source Intelligence (OSINT).” Cold cases are unsolved murder cases for which the forensic investigation has been put on hold due to a lack of leads. Maurice van Keulen from DMB collaborates with Jaap Knotter from Saxion and the Police Academy as well as Michael Nagenborg and Dina Babushkina of UT’s philosophy department to research how technically as well as ethically citizen science can be to produce new evidence and leads. Maurice van Keulen presented the DMB’s project on actionable data at this kick-off event at the U-Park hotel on the UT campus.
