Norwegian Biometrics Laboratory Workshop 2013

We cordially invite you to participate in the 3rd Norwegian Biometrics Laboratory Workshop 2013 which is an open and free-to-attend event organized by Norwegian Biometrics Laboratory at Gjøvik University College. This event is facing all who are interested in technologies, policies, applications, and wider acceptability of biometrics. The event in 2013 focuses on the topic “off-the-shelf technologies“ to realize user-centered biometrics with a better acceptability, higher efficiency, and lower deployment cost.

Date: February 22nd, 2013
Venue: Room K102, Gjøvik University College (Høgskolen i Gjøvik), Gjøvik, Norway
Participation: Open and free; registration needed.
Sponsor: European Association of Biometrics (www.eab.org)
  Research Council of Norway (www.rcn.no)
Theme: Off-the-Shelf Technologies for Biometrics – from Instrument-Centered to User-Centered
