*For the past 20 years this international Summer School provided and 
active and dynamic forum to closely follow the most recent developments 
in science and technology to offer a cutting edge, intensive training 
course, always up to date with the current state-of-the-art.*

Machine learning, Image understanding, Signal analysis, Neuroscience, 
Robotics, Forensic science, Digital forensics and other disciplines, 
converged in a truly multidisciplinary effort to devise and build 
advanced systems to facilitate the interpretation of signals recorded 
from individuals acting in a given environment.

This is what we simply call today "Biometrics".


What are the most up-to-date core biometric technologies developed in 
the field? What is the potential impact of biometrics in forensic 
investigation and crime prevention? What can we learn from human 
perception? How to deploy current Machine Learning approaches? How to 
cope for adversarial attacks in biometric recognition? What is the 
scalability and real potential for biometric systems? How to design 
privacy-preserving and "ethic" biometric devices?


This school follows the successful track of the International Summer 
Schools on Biometrics held since 2003.

In this 20th edition, the courses will focus on the lessons learned and 
on new and emerging issues:

  * *What did we learn after 20 years and Where are we going now?*
  * *The impact of AI and advanced learning techniques in Biometrics.*
  * *How to make "Deep Biometric" systems explainable.*
  * *The advantages of continual learning for biometrics.*
  * *How to exploit new biometric technologies in forensic and emerging
    applications.*
  * *How to develop fair, unbiased and ethical biometric systems.*


The courses will provide a clear and in-depth picture on the 
state-of-the-art in biometric verification/identification technology, 
both under the theoretical and scientific point of view as well as in 
diverse application domains. The lectures will be given by 18 
outstanding experts in the field, from both academia and industry.

Open sessions will be organised with questions and answers moderated by 
the leading experts in the field.

*Participant application***

To attend the school classes, physical presence of the participants will 
be required. In exceptional cases of travel limitations due to the 
Covid-19 outbreak,remote participation with videoconference facilities, 
will be also allowed.

The expected school fees will be in the order of 1,600 € (400 € in 
videoconference) for students and 2,200 € (800 € in videoconference) for 
others. The fees will include full board accommodation, all courses and 
handling material.
A limited number of scholarships, partially covering the fees, will be 
awarded to Phd students, selected on the basis of their scientific 
background and on-going research work.
The scholarship request form can be downloaded from the school web site 
http://biometrics.uniss.it

*School location*

The school will be hosted by Hotel Dei Pini 
(https://www.hoteldeipini.com/ ) in the Capo Caccia bay, near Alghero, 
Sardinia. This is one of the most beautiful resorts in the Mediterranean 
Sea. The structure is beautifully immersed into the Capo Caccia bay. The 
hotel Dei Pini has a recently renovated conference centre, fully 
equipped for scientific events. The school venue, as well as the 
surroundings, proved to be a perfect environment for the school activities.

The organisers and all lecturers are fully committed to make this year's 
school as successful, instructing and inspiring as in the past years.
