Software development is one of eu-LISA’s core activities. This report looks at the role of generative AI in software engineering and its impact on software development practices. The report examines the evolution of AI tools in software engineering, the frameworks used to assess their performance, and the current landscape of AI coding assistants. It also considers their effects on developer

Data centres are becoming an increasingly important part of the EU’s energy system, already accounting for around 3% of electricity demand, with further growth expected as cloud computing and artificial intelligence continue to expand. This factsheet provides a brief overview of key figures of the accompanying report, covering the energy efficiency and sustainability of data centres.

Data centres are becoming an increasingly important part of the EU’s energy system, already accounting for around 3% of electricity demand, with further growth expected as cloud computing and artificial intelligence continue to expand. Against this backdrop, this report provides a concise overview of the current state of energy efficiency in data centres. It brings together insights from EU policy

Independent evaluation is one of the most effective means to ensure that biometric systems deployed in the EU meet the necessary requirements for accuracy, robustness and transparency, according to standard performance metrics. However, today, the evaluation of biometric technology in the EU is fragmented and inconsistent. This Policy Brief argues that establishing an independent capability for the evaluation of biometric

The 2025 edition of the Research and Technology Monitoring Report provides an overview of the evolution of identity management technologies in the context of international travel, migration, and border management. As global mobility increases and the digitalisation of public services accelerates, secure, interoperable, and rights-respecting identity systems have become foundational to effective governance, security, and access to services.

eu-LISA Technology Brief series - Sovereign Cloud Technologies This report covers key features of cloud technologies, their advantages and limitations, as well as the key challenges of the sovereign cloud.

Over the past decade, the IT industry has seen the rise of cloud technologies because they offer better value for money, are more scalable, and in some cases are more reliable than providing those IT services on premise. Additionally, the available human resources for development and maintenance are limited within the Agency, and using managed platform and software services could
