Mittweida University of Applied Sciences (HSMW), under the leadership of Professor Dirk Pawlaszczyk, has applied for funding under the Interreg Saxony–Czech Republic 2021–2027 programme with the DiForPol project, in collaboration with its partner, the Police Academy of the Czech Republic in Prague (POLAC). In early June, the Monitoring Committee for the EU programme selected eleven new projects for Saxony-Czech cross-border cooperation to receive funding, including DiForPol. These projects will receive a total of 11.3 million euros from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
The DiForPol project – Digital Forensics Training for the Police (DiForPol – Školení digitální forenziky pro policii), which is scheduled to run from 1 December 2024 to 30 November 2027 with a budget of approximately €270,000, a joint training programme is being developed with the project partner POLAC, training materials will be produced, a pilot run utilising the latest learning methods will be carried out, and a training course will be held for approximately 120 Czech and Saxon participants. The focus will be on digital forensic analysis within police forces, taking into account the specific characteristics of the border region between Saxony and the Czech Republic. In the medium and long term, this will expand the Saxon and Czech police training programmes and strengthen and continue the academic cooperation between Mittweida University of Applied Sciences (HSMW) and the Police Academy of the Czech Republic in Prague (POLAC).
