Final Workshop of the DATAFACE Project

Date: 2023-06-08 (14:00-17:30 CEST) Location: Online

Organizer: Catherine Jasserand in cooperation with the European Association for Biometrics (EAB)
Program | Registration

Would you like to discover the latest regulatory developments concerning the regulation of facial recognition in public spaces in Europe? Are you curious about the discussions on the future AI Act, the state-of the art of facial recognition, and the United States' approach on the issue?

DATAFACE investigates the use of facial recognition in public spaces for surveillance purposes and the impact on the rights to privacy and data protection, based on a country trend and a technical analysis of the systems.

The workshop will give insights into the project's objectives and spark discussion on whether a legitimate and proportionate use of the technology can be found, in balance with individuals’ fundamental rights.

Join Catherine and several experts who will delve into specific aspects of her research, such as the notion of ‘public spaces’, the technological advancements in facial recognition, and the complexity of the regulatory landscapes on the issue.

This is the final workshop of Catherine's postdoctoral project DATAFACE – funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship program. Catherine is a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for IT& IP law (CiTiP) at KU Leuven and part of the Biometric Law Lab established by Professor Els Kindt.

EU AI Act Workshop - Impacts for End-Users

Date: 2023-07-13 Location: Online

Organizer: The European Association for Biometrics (EAB)

Fees are non-refundable as from 7 days before the start of the event.

Note: If you are not yet an EAB-member, please consider to register for membership first (starting from 95,00 € per year). You then can register for participation of the workshop as an EAB-member for 0,00 € instead of 100,00 €, which means an overall saving of 5,00 € and access to all the benefits of being an EAB member for the rest of the year!


Program | Registration

This workshop will inform the biometrics community of the potential impact of the AI Act when it comes to biometric technologies, e.g. ban on “real-time” remote biometric identification systems in publicly accessible spaces. This workshop will review the impact of the proposed changes and discuss relevant use cases.

Program | Registration

The 10th edition of the EAB Research Projects Conference is organised by the European Association on Biometrics (EAB) with the contribution of eu-LISA through its Governance and Capabilities Unit, the support of DG HOME of the European Commission, Fraunhofer IGD and Halmstad University.

The conference is currently the largest event on research funded by the European Union in the area of Biometrics and Identity Management. Over the previous successful editions, EAB-RPC has become the main forum in Europe where attendees can simultaneously: promote research carried out in biometrics, forge new links and networks, and identify the appropriate partners for possible future project applications. Last year’s edition welcomed over 70 participants from academia, industry and public institutions.
