• 2nd CHALLENGE Training School : Security, Technology, Borders: EU Responses to New Challenges

  28 August 2006, by Centre for European Policy Studies, Challenge
  This two-day Training Seminar seeks to examine various aspects of the management of EU borders at a time of increasing perceived threats. It includes an examination of new instruments (SIS II, VIS), their implications on visa policy, migration, asylum and cooperation over international security issues. Specific innovations such as the use of biometric identifiers should also be assessed. Further, by encouraging case studies, we aim to investigate not only the macro (state-to-state relations), but also micro interactions at borders. The cultural, political and economic dimensions of these practices should be scrutinized. Finally, the seminar will embed substantive issues in strong theoretical and conceptual analyses.
