The 20th edition of the European Police Congress (#epk17), fittingly entitled "Europe – boundless? liberty, mobility, security" this year, will see eu-LISA's active participation and contributions for the first time. This occasion marks the beginning of a collaboration to support efforts in assembling JHA-area authorities from across Europe to discuss the future of law-enforcement in the Union and beyond.
With a two-day programme and more than 20 panel sessions, within which numerous further strategic and technical topics are planned to be discussed and an estimated audience of 1,500 international participants, the European Police Congress is arguably Europe´s leading conference on Internal Security.
The panel chaired by eu-LISA's own Stephan Brandes, Head of Operations and Infrastructure Unit, will evolve around the topic:
Enabling Interoperability to Enhance Cross-Border Cooperation amongst Law Enforcement Authorities
The following experts will elaborate on the topic and share their know-how with the panel participants:
Christina BENNER, Head of UMF-3 (EU-funded project)
Monika HOHLMEIER, MEP, Group of the European People's Party (Christian Democrats), European Parliament
Krzysztof KLEBEK, Team Leader Business Product Management, European Police Office (EUROPOL)
Thomas SOMMERFELD, Interpol
