LOST2 – Definition of competences at European level for the recognition of the qualification

Improving the search system to combat the growing phenomenon of Missing People in Europe

Child disappearances on the rise in Europe

The number of missing children and adults per year in Europe is alarming, and a significant percentage of them remain unfound. Inadequate competencies and training programs for missing persons in EU countries along with insufficient investigation procedures have created an urgent need for improvement. The EU Parliament and Council have suggested collaboration and information sharing among relevant parties to combat this issue.

LOST 2

LOST2 is a continuation of LOST, a project that tackled the problem of missing people in Europe by giving targeted training and technical assistance to professionals handling such cases. LOST recognized the requirement for a global/European missing persons system and the absence of an unambiguous professional qualification framework.

The LOST2 project intends to

Clearly define the responsibilities and expertise required of professionals involved in missing persons research
Encourage the advancement of digital skills
Create the required paperwork for EU countries to recognize professional qualifications
Establish training programs that aid in skill development and specialization
Assist in developing "European Vocational Core Profiles."
