The 2021 International Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB 2021) combines two major biometrics conferences, IEEE Biometrics Theory, Applications, and Systems (BTAS) Conference and the International Conference on Biometrics (ICB). The blending of these two conferences is made through a special agreement between the IEEE Biometrics Council and the IAPR TC-4.

The conference will be organized in a mixed mode. Participants who cannot attend in person can participate online.

The conference will 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 all areas of current Biometrics research and applications.
