The TENACITy project has been featured in the Greek professional magazine Security Manager, a leading publication focused on security technologies, risk management, and innovation. The article, titled “Travelling Intelligence Against Crime and Terrorism,” presents TENACITy’s objectives, technological approach and its contribution to enhancing cooperation in the fight against crime and terrorism across Europe. This coverage highlights TENACITy’s growing visibility within the European security ecosystem and its recognition by sectoral media beyond the consortium.

English translation of the Greek press article
Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) use the data in their information systems as a basis for decision-making that affects the safety of European citizens.

According to a recent report by the European Court of Auditors on the use of EU information systems, it was found that different countries have varying perceptions and methodologies regarding data management. Officials from LEAs stated that not all datasets are included in their systems, while other data may be incomplete, inaccurate, or not entered in a timely manner. The same report notes that there are regulatory and “cultural” issues whereby some countries do not make all the functionalities offered by the EU’s central systems available through their national systems.

The TENACITy project aims to address these challenges by proposing a three-pillar approach:

(a) Modern and efficient tools for leveraging travel information data by security authorities: TENACITy proposes an interoperable open architecture for integrating and analyzing multiple types of transactional, historical, and behavioral data from various sources, harnessing transformative digital technologies.

(b) Training and awareness for LEA personnel: TENACITy foresees the design of a “living lab” to host hackathons and workshops for all relevant stakeholders who will benefit from the use of passenger data and the proposed digital technologies.

(c) A holistic approach to crime prevention: This will ensure that the proposed digital technologies support the detection of criminal and terrorist organizations’ modes of operation, while also involving policymakers in governance processes to explore how the new tools can provide fresh opportunities for shaping regulations.

IANUS’s role in the project

IANUS is the partner responsible for developing the Training Methodology and Training Platform within TENACITy.

In this context, IANUS coordinates the development of a comprehensive training methodology focused on the use of passenger information for combating terrorism and organized crime. This includes the design of specialized training curriculum supported by a dedicated e-learning platform for both synchronous and asynchronous learning. The quality of training is further enhanced through practical exercises, hackathons and an interactive Living Lab.
