The European Union has been built on the principles of Liberty, Security and Justice. In the 21st Century the very fabric of the European Ideal finds itself under constant threat. With the multitude of dangers posed by terrorism, illegal immigration, drug and human trafficking, fraud and organised crime, border security has emerged as a top priority for EU officials and Governments right across the continent.
This major two-day roundtable, brings together international experience and expertise from high profile figures across the region and beyond.
The issues and challenges faced by those who work in this field are complex and are evolving constantly. The meeting will explore how practitioners and policymakers can meet not only today's challenges but also remain one step ahead of tomorrow's increasingly dynamic and fluid threats to Europe's border security.
