Shaping ground-breaking technologies to support end-users countering identity-fraud at borders
Tuesday 14th April 2026
10.30am – 12.30pm
Why attend?
This special workshop, coordinated by the SafeTravellers’ project and project’s pilot leaders The European Association of Airport & Seaport Police (EAASP), represents a unique opportunity to discover and help shape the testing of emerging border technologies and processes before solutions are finalised and eventually deployed or integrated in real environments.
A workshop delivering:
- Live demonstrations of new and improved technologies and processes
- Results from Phase 1 of SafeTravellers pilots testing conducted in:
o Airports
o Land borders
o Rail environments - Discussions to directly shape the Phase 2 pilot demonstrations at mentioned environments + Maritime borders
- Q&As and discussions with the pilot leaders, technology providers, research and ethics/legal teams
This workshop is the third of a successful series of workshops designed and focused on ensuring SafeTravellers solutions are supported, from their start and throughout their development and testing, with the input of border guards and operational stakeholders:
- 2024 Workshop: Practitioners defined operational needs and user requirements
- 2025 Workshop: Participants reviewed system development and progress
- 2026 workshop: Focus on real-world testing and operational readiness
By joining the 2026 workshop, you will:
- Help identify operational priorities and risks
- Ensure future systems meet real border control needs
- Maximise long-term security, efficiency and traveller experience and rights
- Ask questions, express advice, and gain opportunity to visit the next demo activities
Who are we? What is SafeTravellers?
SafeTravellers is a three year Horizon Europe funded project aiming to deliver a near-operational border control solution (TRL 7+) that:
- Enables frictionless border crossing without stopping at checkpoints
- Strengthens border security through advanced identity and fraud detection tools
- Places travellers in control of their personal data through self-sovereign identity
- Fully complies with GDPR, ethics, and privacy-by-design principles

The project explores the use of Digital Travel Credentials (DTCs) combined with multi-biometric identification, sensor technologies and privacy-preserving mechanisms to address current limitations of identity documents and border processes.
