The CarMen consortium was invited to participate in the TESSERA Second Online Workshop, entitled “Consolidating progress: Laying the groundwork for datasets towards the European Security Data Space for Innovation.”
The workshop brought together EU-funded projects and key stakeholders from across the security domain, including representatives working in border management, fighting crime and terrorism, resilient infrastructure, and disaster-resilient societies. The agenda focused on advancing the European Security Data Space for Innovation through discussions on governance models, interoperability frameworks, dataset mapping and standardisation, as well as quality assessment and compliance mechanisms.
For CarMen, participation in this exchange was particularly relevant. The project addresses secure biometric data handling, trusted data transfer through Digital Traveller Credentials (DTC), and interoperability with operational border infrastructures – all of which depend on high-quality, reliable, and standardised datasets.
The workshop provided an important platform to contribute to ongoing discussions on dataset quality, standardisation, and data-driven innovation, ensuring that CarMen developments remain aligned with emerging European data governance frameworks. Through its engagement, the consortium continues to strengthen its role within the evolving European Security Data ecosystem and support the development of secure, interoperable solutions for next-generation border management.
