NARCOSIS project

The EU-funded NARCOSIS project (Non-tArgeted foRensic multidisCiplinary platfOrm for inveStigatIon of drug-related fatalitieS) aims to develop a reliable and collaborative approach to support the EU Early Warning System for a rapid detection of NPSs and fast response to investigators. The project will create a diagnostic platform that can adapt and update as needed. It will be pivotal for both on-site and laboratory screening, establishing a shared reference spectra database for faster illicit drug identification by means of heuristic AI-driven tools trained on chemical features instead of names and illicit drug categories. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme (Civil Security for Society) under grant agreement No 101168195.
