We are pleased to share that the CarMen project was successfully featured at the high-level event “Biometrics in Action for Border Management & Fight Against Crime and Terrorism”, co-organised by the European Association for Biometrics (EAB) and the European Commission’s CERIS (Community for European Research and Innovation for Security), on 23–24 September 2025 in Darmstadt, Germany, as a part of Darmstadt Biometrics Week.
As an EU-funded initiative, CarMen was invited to present its latest results and innovations, reflecting its growing impact and relevance in the fields of biometrics, digital identity, and security technologies. The event brought together researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and technology developers to explore the opportunities and challenges of applying biometric technologies in border management, crime prevention, and counterterrorism.
During the event, the CarMen team delivered a dedicated presentation outlining the project’s objectives, key achievements, and innovative solutions developed to support secure and ethical biometric systems. In addition, a hands-on demonstration of the project’s tools and applications was featured in the exhibition area, drawing attention from stakeholders across Europe’s security and innovation communities.
Participation in this event offered a valuable opportunity to:
• Showcase the project’s contributions to European security research.
• Engage with end-users, fellow researchers, and policy stakeholders.
• Help shape the future direction of biometric technologies and digital identity solutions in Europe.
We thank the EAB and DG HOME for the opportunity to contribute to this important dialogue, and we look forward to continuing collaboration across the EU research and innovation landscape.
