EuroMed Rights investigated how EU-funded technology and AI were used in EU migration policies that shift border control and asylum processing to non-EU countries such as Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Morocco, Turkey and Lebanon.
It carried out advocacy and communication work to shed light on the risks to fundamental rights, and mobilised its network of 70 civil society organisations in 30 countries around the links between migration policy and human rights.
EuroMed Rights worked on the intersection of technology and migration, significantly increasing its and members’ capacity, expending partnerships and conducting new research.
Their research analysed the current state of tech deployment at the Spanish border, and mapped tech deployment at the EU’s external borders since the early 2000s. The grant also supported EuroMed Rights’ participation in joint advocacy on the AI Act, including through the #ProtectNotsurveil coalition.
