On 17-18 June 2015 Frontex will hold the Global Conference on the Future of Border Checks 2015 in Warsaw, Poland. The conference can be followed online.
The conference provides a platform to discuss the practical steps needed to develop and implement a risk-based approach to border checks, while enabling better resource allocation and increased cost-effectiveness. The programme focuses on highlighting operational challenges and solutions, with an emphasis on the technologies and services that could change the current border checks paradigm and their potential impact on day-to-day operations at the border.
The conference will also examin cutting-edge research developments in the area of personal identification, which in the future could be used to advance technological innovations in the border control domain.
The audience consists of national authorities from the EU Member States and other countries, EU policy-makers, international organisations, airport authorities, carriers, as well as industry representatives and researchers involved in developing innovative border checks solutions.
