GRANT NUMBER: 101121269

DURATION: 1 January 2024 – 31 December 2026

LINKS: CORDIS, LINKEDIN

FOCUS AREA: security identity and travel documents, biometrics, machine learning, visual analytics, fraud detection

The SafeTravellers project aims at:

  • strengthening the security at borders

  • providing to the Law Enforcement Authorities the appropriate tools to combat identity fraud

  • offering a frictionless border crossing experience for citizens as they will not have to stop at the border checkpoints

SafeTravellers is proposing a new way of citizen identification based on multiple biometrics instead of the identity document. In addition, it aims to enhance the current way of identity verification at the borders through a set of tools that will detect attacks at the biometric hardware, identity and travel document fraud and attempts to falsify biometrics.

This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101121269.
