The Swiss Center for Biometrics Research and Testing goes European

As a consequence of the successful Kick-off Workshop of the Swiss Center for Biometrics Research and Testing, the European Association for Biometrics (EAB) and the Idiap Research Institute decided to elevate at a more European level the initiative of the Idiap Research Institute to create a cooperative research consortium towards the establishment of the European Cooperative Identification Technology Research Consortium (EAB-CITeR) In the process to establish EAB-CITeR, the resources of Idiap and the critical mass of over 160 current EAB members shall complement each other.

The EAB-CITeR is established after the model of the US based Center for Identification Technology Research (US-CITeR). The EAB-CITeR and the US-CITeR are seeking close cooperation while remaining independent consortia.

The EAB-CITeR is operated by the Swiss Center for Biometrics Research and Testing, part of the Idiap Research Institute, and chaired by Dr. Sebastien Marcel.
