DATACROS is carried out by an international consortium coordinated by Transcrime – Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (Italy). The other partners involved are:

Agence Française Anticorruption (France)
Cuerpo Nacional de la Policia (Spain)

Beneficiaries of project DATACROS are police agencies and judicial authorities, national and local public bodies (e.g. Anti-corruption agencies, Competition authorities, Contracting authorities), investigative journalists, NGOs and other actors of the civil society.
