Projects Overview:
1. TENSOR aims to revolutionize law enforcement by providing police authorities with a cutting-edge platform for biometric evidence extraction, sharing, and storage in cross-border environments. By harnessing the full potential of biometric technologies and their fusion with less distinctive features, TENSOR ensures automated, robust, secure, and privacy-preserving practices in crime investigation.
2. ODYSSEUS focuses on optimizing customs and supply chain safety by enhancing prevention, detection, and deterrence of crime involving goods flows across EU external border crossing points. Through innovative technologies and comprehensive frameworks, ODYSSEUS aims to reduce disruption to trade flows while ensuring the security of border operations.
3. FLEXI-Cross targets the deployment of innovative border checking solutions using technologies such as 5G, IoT, AI, ML, Big Data, and Cloud Computing. By increasing security and reliability of border checks for people and goods, FLEXI-Cross aims to enhance border management capabilities and improve the overall border-crossing experience.
4. EITHOS is developing an Identity Theft Observatory System to combat online identity theft-related crimes. Through targeted awareness campaigns and innovative engagement activities, EITHOS empowers European citizens, law enforcement agencies, and policymakers to prevent, detect, and investigate online identity theft, thereby raising public awareness and mitigating societal impact.
We look forward to your participation in this collaborative effort to enhance border security and combat crime.
