Enforcement Authorities – INNO” ISF/2026/SA/3.4.3 under the Internal

Security Fund (ISF) – ISF/2026/SA/3.4.3/001

Dear Mr Tarmo Miilits,

Thank you for your application ISF/2026/SA/3.4.3/001 Innovative Digital Solutions for

Tackling Human Trafficking and Organised Crime: Piloting EU Research Results

following the call for expression of interest launched on 17 November 2025.

DG HOME has assessed the 10 admissible proposals based on the three assessment

criteria listed in the call. As a result of this exercise, and in line with section 4.1 of the

call, we regret to inform you that your application was unsuccessful.

The application scored low on Criterion B - Quality (sustainability of the project not

adequately demonstrated; undetailed national deployment roadmap and missing financial

and legal model proposal towards IPR management, product servicing, updating or

scaling up) and Criterion C – Impact (insufficient and vague description of EU added

value and involvement of national parties and EU entities; weak transferability and links

to European strategic autonomy).

If you need further clarifications, please contact HOME-ISF-SPECIFIC-

[email protected].

Yours faithfully,

2
