>From the early days, when security was the driving force behind biometric
research, today’s challenges go far beyond security. 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”.

For the last nineteen years, the International Summer School on Biometrics
has been closely following the developments in science and technology to
offer a cutting edge, intensive training course, always up to date with the
current state-of-the-art.

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 deal with *adversarial
attacks* in biometric recognition? How can a biometric system learn
continually?
This school follows the successful track of the International Summer
Schools on Biometrics held since 2003. In this 19th edition, the courses
will mainly focus on new and emerging issues:

•       *The impact of AI and advanced learning techniques in Biometrics;*
•       *How to make “Deep Biometrics” systems explainable;*
•       *The advantages of continual learning for biometrics;*
•       *How to exploit new biometric technologies in forensic and emerging
applications.*

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.

An advanced feature of this summer school will be some practical sessions
to better understand, “hands on”, the real potential of today’s biometric
technologies.

*Participant application*

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

   - Submission of applications: February 15th, 2022
   - Notification of acceptance: March 20th, 2022
   - Registration: April 25th, 2022

*Advance pre-registration is strictly required by March 1st 2022*

*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 school lectures will be delivered as a *mixed mode event*, allowing
both physical (if the medical advice at the time of the school will allow
it in full security) and remote attendance with videoconferencing
facilities.

   - For participants attending in videoconference, live lectures will be
   delivered online with full sharing of the lecturing material and allowing
   live interaction with the participants. Private and group meetings with
   each lecturer will be organised to deepen the discussion started in the
   class.

   - Ad-hoc teleconferencing and communication tools will be also set up
   for practical hands-on sessions and to allow a good engagement of the
   participants and the lecturers.

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

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