Enhancing digital evidence management in Belgium

Duration September 2024 - February 2026

The general objective of the project “Digital Evidence for Justice” is to support Belgium in its efforts to implement reforms, which could encourage investment, increase competitiveness, and assist in achieving sustainable economic and social convergence, resilience, and recovery.

The Digital Evidence for Justice project addresses Belgium’s priority of digitalising the justice system. By enhancing evidence management through digital solutions, the project contributes to improving the efficiency and trustworthiness of judicial proceedings.

Key Results:

  • Developing a robust blueprint for optimised evidence management.
  • Crafting a design proposal for a digital court office system as a new service access point.

The project is funded by the European Union through the Technical Support Instrument (TSI), which is managed by the Task force for Reforms and Investments (SG REFORM) under the European Commission’ Secretariat General.

First analysis of digital evidence management in Belgium completed

The project team has completed the first comprehensive analysis of the current state of digital evidence management in Belgium. The report provides an in-depth overview of existing information systems, business processes, and the legislative framework, laying a solid foundation for future improvements.

The study highlights key challenges and opportunities to enhance the efficiency, interoperability, and security of digital evidence handling. It also includes market research on existing Digital Evidence Management Systems (DEMS) and best practices from across the European Union.

This analysis was the basis for developing strategic recommendations to advance Belgium’s digital transformation and strengthen digital evidence management within law enforcement and judicial institutions.
