Frontex Research and Innovation plans to publish a methodology to help test and validate technology solutions for pilot projects. In the development of the methodology subject matter experts and various other stakeholders have been involved in order to ensure that emerging technologies align with the needs of the European Border and Coast Guard (EBCG) community.
The methodology is rooted in lessons learned from real-world pilot projects and is designed to be flexible and adaptable to different situations, streamlining the planning, execution, and evaluation of upcoming projects.
Established on invaluable insights gained through research and innovation pilot projects, the methodology identifies essential elements and best practices for successful project execution, together with a detailed roadmap for assessing new technologies.
The methodology’s main aim is to support the creation of innovative solutions that address the complex challenges of border management.
The document is currently being edited and formatted to ensure clarity and accuracy. This process is currently underway, and the revised version is expected to be published in the third quarter of 2025 on the Frontex website.
