Scientific Conference

The discussion on standards in forensic science is commenced by a conference devoted to biometrics, a dynamically developing science, dealing with recognition of human beings on the basis of their physical and behavioural traits. The basic assumption of the conference is to create an interdisciplinary space for cooperation and exchange of experience in the field of forensic and legal application of biometric tools and adapting them to the standards. This undertaking is co-organised by leading entities which conduct research and perform analysis of biometric technology implementations with particular emphasis on the use of technology in forensics. The Conference is addressed to practitioners, entrepreneurs and individuals engaged in performing research.

Aim of Conference

The conference aims to present and summarise the actual knowledge on legal and forensic applications of biometrics in Polish and international law. The conference shall draw attention to important theoretical and practical issues associated with standardisation and development of technologies related to biometrics, and also indicate the key risks associated with their application.

Leading themes

• Biometrics in Polish and international law;
• Forensic identification vs. biometric technologies;
• Threats connected with biometric technology application;
• Biometric data security;
• Standardisation in forensic science.
