This high-level training course has been designed to give delegates an awareness of:

  1. How biometric systems can enhance border management functions

  2. The benefits of sharing Border biometric data with other countries

  3. Border biometrics as part of a larger national and international network of biometric systems

The course is based on a number of good practice guides developed by the Biometrics Institute including: the Biometrics Institute Understanding Biometrics (2018) reference guide & its Privacy Guidelines (2016) and a recent collaboration with  the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) and UN OCT – the UN Compendium of Recommended Practices for the Responsible Use & Sharing of Biometrics in Counter Terrorism.

Introducing Biometrics at the Border training is taking place at Hofburg, Vienna as part of the ID @ Borders & Future of Travel Conference – an independent and impartial forum for the multitude of players managing identities along the end-to-end border and travel continuum.
