SCRIPT project

SCRIPT: Scripting criminal processes: Review and implementation of practical tools” led by Avans University of Applied Sciences in which the MultiX group is partner, has been accepted by NWO in the mission-driven innovation program.
A doctoral candidate at the University of Amsterdam, under the supervision of Marcel Worring, will delve into the development of data-driven crime scripting tools, in close collaboration with the National Financial Intelligence Unit, Deloitte, NFI, and Transaction Monitoring Netherlands.

The project's overarching aim is to address the significant societal impact of organized crime by continually monitoring criminal activities and fostering innovation within the public and private sectors. The SCRIPT research program plays a crucial role in this endeavour, facilitating the implementation, acceleration, and scalability of crime scripting methodologies. By harnessing new and improved data, SCRIPT aims to provide deeper insights into illegal activities and criminal financial transactions, ultimately enhancing society's capacity to combat organized crime effectively.

With a total project funding of €2.6 million, comprising a €2.3 million contribution from NWO and €310,000 from the University of Amsterdam, this research initiative signifies a concerted effort to develop more robust interventions against organized crime
