SAT-LAW is an EU - funded project by the European Commission Directorate – General Justice and Consumers (Grant Agreement no. 800816), under the JUST-AG-2017/JUST-JCOO-AG-2017 call with a total budget of EUR €907.590. 

SAT-LAW Project contributes to the analysis of the consistency of the EIO Directive and other judicial instruments. It focuses on the research aimed at contributing to the European Agenda on Security with regard to judicial response to terrorism, organised crime and cybercrime. Additionally, it aims to reinforce the prevention of radicalisation from a judicial point of view, particularly within the penitentiary environment, through the use of detention measures in the indictment phase. The project's goal is to improve access to electronic pieces of evidence and its admissibility in front of the courts during the processes.

The project will use quantitative and qualitative research techniques to achieve a better understanding of the state of implementation of Directive 2104/41/EU across Europe. It will also organise 10 Judicial Living Labs addressing different topics such as: proportionality in the use of SITs and surveillance; EIO and e-evidence; and implementation models in different adversarial and/or inquisitor centred national procedures. The project will also produce a Toolkit with Promising Practices in National, European and ECtHR law and multiple blended training courses.
