In 2010 the first two Knowledge Transfer seminars were held allowing National Academy Graduates within the European Chapter to participate in discussion with academic researchers on topics of current importance. In 2010 these topics covered International Police Leadership, Understanding Protest, Policing Major Football Competitions, and Human Provenance Techniques as an aid to police investigation. At the 2010 Retraining Conference in Cyprus, it was agreed to provide further sessions in the current year.

The second of these was held at the Scottish Police College. The purpose of each seminar is to learn about the most recent research and then to share knowledge drawing on experiences for NA Graduates from different countries.
