Towards sustainable cost and funding mechanisms for civil litigation in EuropeAt the heart of effective access to civil justice lies litigation funding and cost management. Access to civil justice has been under pressure due to retrenching governments, high costs, and procedural inefficiency. The Vici project will assess new pathways to civil justice funding and cost schemes, with a view to developing a balanced financing system, thereby securing access to justice in Europe.

Focusing on the Right Things in the Port of Rotterdam (FORT-PORT)FORT-PORT aims to provide better insight into how criminal organisations involved in cocaine trafficking and human smuggling operate in and around the port of Rotterdam. These insights will enable governance actors to intervene proactively and thus prevent related violence and harm. We aim to shed light on the bottlenecks and success factors in the existing public-private partnerships in the port and stimulate exchange with other ports.

AI Multi‐Agency Public Safety Issues (AI MAPS)AI MAPS focuses on the ethical, legal and social aspects of AI (ELSA) development and application - to prevent the solution from being worse than the problem. This project’s 20 partners across academic research, government, business, and civil society will create a mutual-learning ecosystem of quadruple helix agents to responsibly guide the growing use of AI applications.
