Title:

TENACITy: Travelling Intelligence Against Crime and Terrorism

Program:

Horizon Europe

Duration:

36 months

Summary:

European law enforcement agencies rely on effective data management for the prompt alerting to potential security threats and for making decisions on investigations and other public safety operations. In the context of border control, passenger information can provide significant intelligence when managed efficiently and adequately for terrorism and serious crime prevention. EU law enforcement agencies face challenges related to varying data management methods, incomplete or inaccurate data, interoperable information exchange, and efficient tools to process travel intelligence data for timely operations decisions at the borders.

The EU-funded TENACITy project will address these challenges by developing a Travel Intelligence Governance Framework as a holistic approach to crime prevention and training of law enforcement personnel, incorporating advanced tools for processing travel intelligence (PNR/API) data, such as OSINT services, risk assessment tools and AI analytics.
