EAB Age Estimation Workshop

EAB Age Estimation Workshop
Online
March 24, 2026

The European Association of Biometrics (EAB) are hosting the EAB Age Estimation Workshop.

The need for accurate facial age estimation systems is becoming ever more important across a wide range of applications, including the purchase of/access to age-restricted goods and services, and the assessment of undocumented humanitarian cases. As age restriction legislation expands globally, biometric age estimation has become central to digital identity compliance and online safety. The implementation of such technology requires an understanding from across many disciplines such as biometrics, forensics, computer science, law, statistics, anthropology and medicine to ensure effective, explainable and lawful deployment.

Co-organised with Richard Guest (University of Southampton, UK), this workshop will explore aspects of the current state-of-the-art in facial age estimation systems considering key elements such as application domains, implementation, testing and evaluation, and legal compliance and regulation. We shall hear from leading global experts in the field, and consider where future research, development and legislation may enhance trust in use.

Speakers already announced include:
– Patrick Grother, Scientist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
– Chris Allgrove, CTO at Ingenium Biometric Laboratories
– Eva Lievens, Professor in Law & Technology at the Faculty of Law and Criminology Ghent University
– Andrew Hammond, General Manager, ACT & NSW at KJR

Attendance is free of charge but registration is required.
