With a €9 million budget, the call focuses on improving the experiences of travelers and border personnel, such as customs officers and coastguards, through advanced technological solutions. 

Eligible projects should emphasize secure data processing, biometric systems, and fraud detection while prioritizing human rights and cybersecurity. Legal entities worldwide can apply, including those from non-associated third countries and international organizations.
