VANGUARD aims to strengthen the fight against trafficking in human beings (THB) at the nexus of advanced technological solutions, understanding, awareness raising, and training in order to disrupt the trafficking chain at an early stage and address the culture of impunity. In particular, VANGUARD aims to provide an improved intelligence picture of THB, with particular focus on THB for purposes of sexual exploitation, labour exploitation, and forced criminality. This will be achieved through developing a modular and trustworthy suite of tools for detecting, identifying, investigating, and preventing online-facilitated THB activities and THB-related activities at (border) checkpoints based on the analysis of online multimedia content and multimodal streams, by leveraging the latest advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI). It will also address the societal dimensions of THB through improved understanding and engagement with relevant actors, improved strategies of international cooperation, increased awareness, and better evidence-based policymaking. The capacity of end users (including Police and Border Guard Authorities) will be further enhanced and will enable them to tackle such criminal activities in an effective manner based on advanced tools and solutions and on innovative training curricula. VANGUARD will be validated in field tests and demonstrations in three operational use cases. Extensive training, hands-on experience, joint exercises, and training material will boost the uptake of VANGUARD tools and technologies. With a Consortium of seven Police and Border Guard Authorities (including from countries of origin and transit of THB networks and countries neighbouring Ukraine), one Police Academy, eight research/academic institutions, four industry partners (including two SMEs), and two CSOs, VANGUARD delivers a strong representation of the challenges, requirements, and tools to meet its objectives.

Vanguard旨在加强与先进技术解决方案，理解，意识提高和培训联系的人类（THB）的斗争，以便在早期阶段破坏贩运链，并解决不受惩罚的文化。尤其是，Vanguard旨在提供改进的THB智能图片，特别关注THB，以进行性剥削，劳动剥削和强迫犯罪。这将通过开发一套模块​​化和值得信赖的工具套件来检测，识别，调查和防止在线多媒体内容和多模态流的分析（通过在人工智能中的最新建议（AI）中利用在线多媒体内容和多模态流的分析，在（边境）检查点上（边境）检查点的与THB相关的活动（AI）（AI）。它还将通过提高与相关参与者的理解和参与，改善国际合作的战略，提高认识以及更好的基于证据的决策的战略来解决THB的社会方面。最终用户（包括警察和边境警卫当局）的能力将进一步提高，并使他们能够根据高级工具和解决方案以及创新的培训课程以有效的方式处理此类犯罪活动。 Vanguard将在三种操作用例中的现场测试和演示中进行验证。广泛的培训，动手经验，联合练习和培训材料将增强先锋工具和技术的吸收。拥有七个警察和边境警卫当局（包括来自THB网络的原籍国和邻近乌克兰国家的国），一所警察学院，八个研究/学术机构，四个行业合作伙伴（包括两个中小型企业）和两个CSO，Vanguard对挑战，需求，需求，需求和目标的工具提供了强有力的代表。
