Since eu-LISA’s establishment in 2012, the Agency has become the digital engine of Schengen and is responsible for managing and promoting IT as a key success factor for the implementation of the European Union’s policies in the area of freedom, security and justice. Over the years, the Agency’s mandate has considerably expanded. On top of the operational management of Eurodac, SIS and VIS, eu-LISA also assumed responsibility for the development of EES, ETIAS, ECRIS-TCN, and the Interoperability framework. The Agency has also been entrusted to take over e-CODEX, a tool for crossborder judicial cooperation.
Thus, eu-LISA is in the driver’s seat for the digitalisation efforts of the EU’s Justice and Home Affairs domain, building a new information architecture for border management and contributing to the development of the new security ecosystem.
Through its activities and tasks, which fully respect EU data protection and privacy requirements, the Agency adds value to the EU Member States by supporting their efforts towards freedom, security and justice.
