The International Workshop on Biometrics and Forensics (IWBF) and organized in collaboration
with COST Action IC1106 – “Integrating Biometrics and Forensics for the Digital Age” is an international
forum devoted specifically to the development of synergies between the biometrics and forensic
science research research area.
IWBF provides the meeting place for those concerned with the usage of biometric recognition systems
in forensic science applications, attracting participants from industry, research, academia and users.
