The EURMARS Project was proud to participate in the 2nd DETECTION HUB Workshop, held in June 2025 in Riga, Latvia. The event gathered experts and stakeholders from across Europe including representatives from law enforcement, governmental agencies, research organisations, academia and industry to continue advancing the dialogue on innovative detection technologies for border security and safety.

Building on the success of the first DETECTION HUB Workshop in Madrid, this second edition focused on integrating research outcomes and operational needs, with a particular emphasis on interoperability, data sharing, and cross-border cooperation. Participants discussed emerging technologies for the detection of illicit goods, hazardous materials, and security threats, alongside strategies to strengthen EU-wide collaboration frameworks.

EURMARS contributed by presenting its approach to multi-authority situational awareness and AI-enhanced detection, highlighting how the project’s integrated platform supports real-time decision-making and ethical, interoperable border surveillance.

The workshop fostered fruitful exchanges among Horizon Europe projects, practitioners and policy experts, reinforcing the shared goal of bridging research, innovation, and implementation.
