When Biometrics Meet Reality: Shared Challenges across domains

3 “Reality Check” interventions centred around the three workshop domains:

• Border Management
• Figting Crime and Terrorism
• Disaster Resilient Societies

The focus is on what doesn’t work well. Followed by a moderated panel discussion.

Projects Showcase

Short dynamic EU Project presentations focused on the problems they address, the operational context and early lessons learnt.

Deep-dive Session: Constraints to Biometrics Systems

Participants split into 4 rooms to carry a co-creation session, where they explore key challenges identified throughout the workshop.

Each room is led by one EU Agency Representative:

• Room 1: Biometrics in Degraded Environments
• Room 2: Speed vs Accuracy vs Legal Constraints
• Room 3: Multisource and multimodal identity
• Room 4: Human factors & Trust

Each group should produce input for discussion on:

• Top 3 challenges; top 3 R&I needs; and, key recommendations for future programmes

Deep Dive Session– Synthesis:

Each group's rapporteur presents key outcome of the parallel Deep Dive Sessions. Moderators identify common patterns, cross domain priorities, opportunities for joint action, creating real and reusable outputs.
