eu-LISA Joint Conference Report 2018

The 2018 conference was exceptional amongst eu-LISA’s conference series as it was co-organised with Frontex and received support from the Austrian Presidency of the Council of the EU. The future of technology led border management proved to be a relevant and timely topic of debate for the panellists and audience ranging from border guard community to academia. This conference was our largest to date, attracting close to 200 participants! Discussions focussed on future scenarios for border management, taking into account that in the coming years at least two new large-scale IT systems will be developed and implemented – the European Entry-Exit System (EES) and the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS). Undoubtedly, use of these systems implies significant change in border control processes. Efficiencies will only become apparent if the systems are appropriately utilised, technologies appropriately leveraged and border guards fully trained to deal with all eventualities. Engagement with the border guard community to enable their anticipation of future developments and their input during their development process will be key. Read the full report!
