Seeking to contribute to coordinated strengthening of competences in fighting against cybercrime, taking into account the EU and national context in cybercrime Lithuanian academia together with international and industry partners have established public institution “Lithuanian Cybercrime Center of Excellence for Training, Research and Education” on 16th August of 2013 (hereinafter – L3CE, the Centre).

The cybercrime centres of excellence in EU countries provide Law enforcement with necessary knowledge, resources and training, and coordinate R&D activities in fighting Cybercrime. However, EU countries have quite different experience, knowledge, apply different methods, dispose with very uneven resources and sometimes facing with different type of cybercrime, therefore demand in different competencies may vary. Thus force the national centres of excellence to specialise in areas of the most or potential advantages.

• L3CE mission is to promote an efficient cooperation among academia, law enforcement and industry seeking to exploit existing knowledge and R&I tackling at secure society challenges.
