On 9th February 2022 OPFA WASTE representatives were invited by the STRiKE Project team to present project achievements and synergies between the two ISF-funded initiatives in the context of the STRiKE Final Conference.
The online Conference provided an opportunity to present the final results of the STRiKE project – Stronger Training and Increased Knowledge for Better Enforcement against Waste and Mercury, strengthen networking initiatives and exploring follow-up activities to sustain the project outcomes.
The results of OPFA WASTE were presented by the Project Manager, Sara Ferrandi, and the Environmental Crimes Expert, Major Gianluca Muscatello. Notably, a synergy between the OPFA WASTE and STRiKE was highlighted in the process of developing a questionnaire template for preventively mapping technical needs and gathering information to update investigative methodologies on Illicit Waste Trafficking. In this circumstance the complementary approach of the two initiatives made it possible for the OPFA WASTE project to benefit from a scientific research and analysis perspective on the topic and, viceversa, to the STRiKE project to take advantage from a more practical and operative perspective.
