The European Intelligence and Security Informatics Conference (EISIC) is Europe's premier conference on Intelligence and Security Informatics. We are thrilled to announce that the EISIC 2019 will celebrate the 10th anniversary of this premier conference series.

EISIC presents the best of current Intelligence and Security Informatics research and practice, emphasizing on the development, use, and evaluation of advanced information technologies, including methodologies, models and algorithms, systems, and tools, for local, national and international security related applications. The conference promotes multi-disciplinary collaborations between researchers and developers from areas such as engineering, computer science, psychology, criminology, crime science, law, privacy and ethics, join with law enforcement, security and defence analysts and investigators to improve our capabilities for fighting crime and ensure the safety, security and trust of our citizens.
