LOST 2
LOST2 project is a development of a previous project called LOST, which aimed to address the issue of missing people in Europe by providing specific training and technical support to professionals working on such cases.

LOST2 project aims to:

- prepare the necessary documentation for the qualification to be recognized by EU countries
- define training courses useful for the completion and specialization of skills
- contribute to the definition of a "European Vocational Core Profiles"
