The CERIS Workshop brings together customs authorities, law enforcement practitioners, policymakers, and innovators to explore advanced European research and technological solutions for tackling illicit goods trafficking across the EU’s external borders. Organised by the Community for European Research and Innovation for Security (CERIS), the workshop features interactive breakout sessions focused on wildlife trafficking and the trafficking of intangible assets, as well as presentations on cutting‑edge capabilities in detection, identification, market intelligence, and data analytics. The event also showcases EU‑funded projects developing state‑of‑the‑art tools, from big‑data analytics to safe, non‑disruptive detection technologies, and examines opportunities for collaborative research and the real‑world transferability of results to strengthen EU border security.
