The IEEE International Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB) is the premier international forum for research in biometrics and related technologies. It combines two major biometrics conferences, the IEEE Biometrics Theory, Applications, and Systems (BTAS) conference and the International Conference on Biometrics (ICB), and is made possible through a special agreement between the IEEE Biometrics Council and the IAPR TC-4. IJCB 2024 is the 8th iteration of this major joint event and will be held in USA, in Buffalo, New York between 15-18 September 2024 as an in-person conference.
IJCB 2024 is intended to have a broad scope and invites papers that advance biometric technologies, sensor design, feature extraction and matching algorithms, security and privacy, and social impact of biometrics technology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Submitted papers may not be accepted or under review elsewhere. Submissions may be up to eight pages, plus additional references, in conference format. Please visit the submission page for additional details on paper formatting. Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore subject to meeting IEEE Xplore’s scope and quality requirements.

The 2022 edition of IJCB was organised in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and the 2023 edition in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The conference is financially sponsored by the IEEE Biometrics Council and technically co-sponsored by IAPR TC-4.
Important Dates:
In your proposal, please include the following information:
All communications, including request for information and bid submission, should be sent jointly to the IEEE Biometrics Council, VP Conferences (Albert Ali Salah, a.a.salah@uu.nl) and to the Conference Subcommittee Chair of IAPR TC-4 (Vishal Patel, vpatel36@jhu.edu).
]]>The 2012 edition of the TC4 flagship event, the International Conference on Biometrics (ICB) in New Delhi, India, facilitated the establishment of the “IAPR Young Biometrics Investigator Award” (YBIA) with an endowment fund. The objectives and criteria of this award are similar to the prestigious IAPR JK Aggarwal award, except that it will be given to outstanding scientists in the biometrics field. The award will be given out in odd years. The recipient of the award will be announced at ICB or IJCB (International Joint Conference on Biometrics) where the winner will be asked to deliver a plenary talk.
The award recipient will be recommended by a special selection committee, appointed by TC4, and composed of at least three active members of TC4. One of the committee members will be the most recent past recipient of the award. The committee’s recommendation will be submitted for approval to the IAPR President. The selection committee reserves the right to decline selecting a winner, if such a decision is warranted based on the applications pool.
Selection criteria:
The recipient of the 2023 YBIA must be under the age of 40 as of 30th June 2023, who has made substantial contributions to the IAPR Biometrics community and whose research has had a major impact in biometrics. The prize consists of a cash amount and a suitably inscribed certificate. The recipient of the 2023 award will deliver a plenary talk at IJCB 2023 (https://ijcb2023.ieee-biometrics.org/).
Nomination procedure:
Each candidate must be supported by a Nominator and at least three, and no more than five, Endorsers supporting the nomination. The completed Nomination and Endorsement Forms must reach the Chair of the YBIA Committee, Prof. Stephanie Schuckers (sschucke@clarkson.edu), no later than 20th August 2023. A copy of the forms must be sent to TC4 Advisor, Prof. Arun Ross (rossarun@msu.edu) also. The forms are attached here.
