Representatives of the project partners Yncréa, coordinator of the CarMen project, and Hochschule Darmstadt (University of Applied Sciences H-DA) participated in Darmstadt Biometrics Week 2025, where they presented the CarMen project to the international biometrics research and innovation community.
The event was organised by the European Association for Biometrics (EAB) and hosted at the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research in Darmstadt, Germany, from 22 to 24 September 2025. Darmstadt Biometrics Week is one of Europe’s key annual gatherings dedicated to biometric innovation, digital identity, and identity management, bringing together experts from academia, industry, public authorities, and policy institutions.
During the event, the CarMen project was presented as part of the EAB Research Projects Conference (EAB-RPC), the largest European forum focused on EU-funded research in biometrics and identity management. The conference provided an important platform for sharing research progress, exchanging knowledge, and strengthening collaboration among projects funded under Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe, as well as national research initiatives.
CarMen’s participation contributed to discussions on the responsible use of biometric technologies, with a particular focus on border management applications, digital identity systems, and secure, privacy-preserving solutions. Engagement with the research and practitioner community supported the project’s dissemination objectives by increasing visibility, fostering cross-sectoral dialogue, and aligning research outcomes with European policy and operational needs.
Participation in Darmstadt Biometrics Week 2025 represents a key scientific and professional dissemination activity for the CarMen project, reinforcing its position within the European biometrics research landscape and supporting future collaboration, knowledge exchange, and long-term impact.
