AMBER Alert Europe (AAEU), the European Centre for Missing Children, is a pan-European foundation uniting 85 organisations from 29 countries across law enforcement, justice, academia and civil society. The foundation's mission is #ZeroMissingKids. To this end, it delivers training, research, policy work, child alerting and prevention. The foundation focuses on preventing disappearances, improving investigations and addressing root causes through evidence-based research and the sharing of best practices. Its policy work is grounded in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and the EU Strategy on the Rights of the Child.^[1][2][3][4]

AAEU is a member of the European Commission’s AI Alliance and the FRA Fundamental Rights Agency’s Platform, and is CEPOL Framework Partner. The annual prevention campaigns have reached families in 23 countries. AMBER Alert Europe also hosts ICCAP, world’s largest cold-case project, which brings together 1,000+ students from 54 universities and police academies across 12 countries to re-examine unsolved missing persons and murder cases—work that has generated new leads, triggered investigations, and been featured on national television^[5]

Since its founding in 2013, AMBER Alert Europe has evolved from a supporting organisation in the establishment of national AMBER Alert systems, to an impactful organisation in the field of EU policy on missing children. The foundation has successfully advocated for the inclusion of missing children in various European legislative frameworks. Key achievements include preventive alerts in the revised Schengen Information System (SIS), the exchange of data on missing persons through Prüm II and specific provisions within the EU AI Act. The foundation also contributed to the adoption of the Council Conclusions on Missing Persons. As part of its work at EU level, the foundation is registered in the EU Transparency Register.^[6][7][8][9]

AMBER Alert Europe also focuses on prevention through the development of annual campaigns and practical guidelines. This work aims to reduce the risks of disappearance by educating parents and children on topics related to going missing, such as online safety, the unsafe sharing of information and the recognition of early warning signs. These campaigns and guidelines are developed in close collaboration with law enforcement experts in the field of missing children, child protection organisations and academic partners.^[10]

The foundation also contributed to the establishment of the Police Expert Network on Missing Persons (PEN-MP). This is the official European police network for missing persons, representing more than 80 law enforcement experts from 34 countries. The network is officially linked to the Law Enforcement Working Party (LEWP) of the Council of the European Union.^[11]

The foundation also coordinates the International Cold Case Analysis Project (ICCAP), the world's largest international cold case project. Within this project, over 1,000 students from 53 organisations in 12 countries collaborate on the analysis of unsolved cases, while simultaneously being trained as the next generation of investigators. The ICCAP project has analysed 52 case files to date and won the Dutch Police Hackathon in both 2024 and 2025 through the use of AI-driven methodologies.^[12][13]

AMBER Alert Europe serves as a CEPOL Framework Partner (2024–2027) and is a member of the Fundamental Rights Platform of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) and the AI Alliance of the European Commission. The foundation has trained more than 1,500 law enforcement professionals to date. In 2025, the organisation launched Europe's first Scientific Advisory Board on Missing Persons, further strengthening the bridge between scientific research and practice.^[14][15]
