On this page, you will find a list of all projects, initiatives, and organizations BAG-INTEL will liaise with during its runtime.

EC-funded projects

Below, you will find a list of Horizon Europe projects (in alphabetical order), which collaborate with BAG-INTEL.

CEASEFIRE Project logo

CEASEFIRE (Advanced versatile artificial intelligence technologies and interconnected cross-sectoral fully-operational national focal points for combating illicit firearms trafficking) is a 3-year, EC-funded Horizon Europe project, developing a highly innovative approach for aiding EU Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) in their struggle to detect, analyze and track cross-border illicit firearms trafficking through advanced AI and ICT tools, as well as by helping establish relevant fully-operational National Focal Points (NFPs) to increase LEA operational capabilities.

MELCHIOR Project logo

The MELCHIOR project aims to improve fast detection of drugs, explosives, weapons, and illicit goods concealed on individuals and in critical human cavities. The technology uses infrasound mechanical impedance interrogation and non-contact technologies, enhancing border staff safety and ensuring travelers’ privacy. The MELCHIOR solution is intended for operational environments, including airports, sea-ports, land borders, crowded events, and prisons. The technology is expected to significantly improve travelers’ experiences while protecting their privacy.

The ODYSSEUS European project aims to enhance the experience of border crossing for travelers and border authorities’ staff while keeping secure and tracking the movements across external water and land borders of the EU.  This initiative aims to protect passengers’ fundamental rights while promoting the security and integrity of the European space by minimizing unauthorized cross-border movements of people and goods.

EU agencies

During its runtime, BAG-INTEL will also receive input and feedback from the EU agencies listed below. These agencies will support BAG-INTEL in the framework of their mandates to provide assistance to the EC-funded border security projects.
