The European R & D Project Customs extended interoperable common information sharing environment (CONNECTOR) is co-funded by the European Commission under the HORIZON EUROPE programme, under grant agreement number 101121271.
CONNECTOR’s vision is to contribute to European Integrated Border Management (EIBM) and the EU Customs Action Plan by addressing the need for close cooperation between Customs, Border and Coast Guard Authorities in the context of the challenging environment of border control, both currently and in the future. This can be met by further involving Customs in the Common Information Sharing Environment (CISE) network and the Enhanced Common Information Sharing Environment (e-CISE). To meet this need, CONNECTOR is developing the Customs Extended Common Information Sharing Environment (CE-CISE).
CONNECTOR aims, for the first time, to suggest an integrated, common and shared risk assessment approach for all Border Management Authorities, taking into account the pan-EU common risk indicators for each of the end user groups – Customs, Border and Coast Guard Authorities, including FRONTEX. This will ensure the security of external EU borders, protect EU citizens from cross-border crime and support the seamless flow of travel and goods, as recommended in the multi-annual strategic policy document.
The Isdefe team participating in the project is coordinated by Raquel Pastor Pastor of Isdefe’s Defense and Security Technologies Department.
