New Contribution Opportunities at IWBF 2026!<br>
<br>
In addition to Regular Research Papers, IWBF 2026 is now welcoming
submissions of:<br>
<br>
- Position Papers – well-argued perspectives on current or
emerging challenges in biometrics and forensics.<br>
- Blue Sky Papers – bold, forward-looking, visionary ideas that
may shape the long-term future of the field.<br>
<br>
Both categories aim to broaden discussions and inspire innovation
within our community.<br>
<br>
📄 Submission guidelines and descriptions are available here:<br>
