    About IWBF 2026

The 2026 International Workshop on Biometrics and Forensics (IWBF 2026) 
will be held on April 23-24, 2026 at EURECOM on the beautiful 
Côte d’Azur (French Riviera). IWBF is an international forum devoted to 
fostering collaboration in multimedia forensics, forensic biometrics, 
and forensic science. Leading-edge research in biometrics, surveillance, 
multimedia forensics, and related areas will be presented. The 14th 
edition of IWBF brings together industry, academia, research, and 
end-users exploring advanced biometric technologies for forensic 
applications.
