The challenge
PROC-EES is a 12-month Coordination and Support Action. It brings together border authorities from Spain, Estonia, Romania, Slovakia, Portugal and the United Kingdom to address processing times, congestion, staff workload, interoperability and public trust as biometric registration expands at Schengen’s external borders.
DIGINNOV’s contribution
DIGINNOV contributes border technology expertise alongside MUXLEY. CORVERS provides procurement expertise, and KEMEA and PPHS contribute security research expertise.
What the project aims to deliver
The consortium plans to define a Joint Innovation Challenge and prepare documentation for a future joint pre-commercial procurement. The work includes training, open market consultations in three EU countries, cost-benefit analysis and a tendering strategy.
Field analysis
Planned measurements at Lisbon and Madrid-Barajas airports, the Narva and Naidaş land crossings, and the ports of Algeciras and Valencia will establish a performance baseline, identify bottlenecks and validate indicators.
