<h2 style="box-sizing: border-box;">About IWBF 2026</h2>
<p style="box-sizing: border-box;">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.</p>
