Conférence

Présentiel
This lecture will provide an overview of digital technologies employed at EU level for migration management focusing on the Eurosur (regulated by the Frontex Regulation) and large-scale IT systems for asylum, migration and border management. The lecture will provide key insights into their practical operation before delving into an analysis on the fundamental rights and rule of law challenges of these technologies (privacy, data protection, non-discrimination and right to an effective remedy). The role of AI in the operationalisation of these technologies will also be highlighted.
