Demos:

The IWBF 2020 organisers invite academia, industry researchers and
practitioners to showcase their work in biometrics and

forensics through demonstrations. We are searching for interactive displays
of innovative methods, systems and applications

within the workshop’s topics of interest.


The accepted submissions will be published in the workshop proceedings at
IEEE Xplore Digital Library.


Questions about the Demos should be addressed by email to Demo Chair, João
Ribeiro Pinto (joao.t.pinto at inesctec.pt).





Doctoral Consortium:

The IWBF Doctoral Consortium is a great opportunity for current/prospective
Ph.D. students to present their ideas and/or

ongoing research, meet other researchers and obtain feedback from
well-known advisers about possible directions for their

future research.


One mentor will be nominated for each candidate/student and the discussions
will be organized into both bilateral and

multilateral meetings.


The accepted submissions will be presented at the Doctoral Consortium and
published in the workshop  proceedings at

IEEE Xplore Digital Library.


Questions about the Doctoral Consortium should be addressed by email to
Program Chair & Doctoral Consortium Chair,

Hugo Proença (hugomcp at di.ubi.pt).
