In 2005 The Centre for Public Innovation, in conjunction with the Home Office and AGIS, organised a conference in Barcelona. The aim of the conference was to share examples of good practice, develop knowledge and practice networks for future co-operation and exchange of innovative methods of tackling drug supply.

 

The outcome of the conference was the exchange and dissemination of information, experience and good practice to improve the professional skills of police officers and to promote and strengthen networking, particularly with countries that were either acceding or candidate states to the EU.

 

 

This conference, organised by CPSI, provided a platform for public servants and officials from partner sectors, such as academia, civil society and the private sector to discuss ways of using innovation to address service delivery challenges.
