October 5, 2015 is the deadline for submitting papers and presentation
proposals for DFRWS EU 2016, which will be held in Lausanne, Switzerland
from March 30th to April 1st, 2016. 

The full CFP with details about submissions is located at:
 http://dfrws.org/2016eu/cfp.shtml

In addition to peer-reviewed research papers, DFRWS conferences have 
added practitioner presentations and hands-on tutorials/workshops taught 
by leading experts in the fields. Presentations are opportunities for 
industry researchers and practitioners who do not have the time to write 
a paper, but who have forensics information and experiences that would 
be of interest to DFRWS attendees. Presentation proposals undergo a light 
reviewing process to filter out sales pitches and ensure the topic is 
relevant to our audience.

DFRWS BACKGROUND
The DFRWS EU 2016 conference extends the 15-year tradition of research 
conferences organized by DFRWS.org. The DFRWS is dedicated to the 
advancement of digital forensics research through open sharing of 
knowledge and ideas. Ever since it organized the first open workshop in
2001, the DFRWS continues to bring leading researchers, developers, 
practitioners, and educators from around the world together in an 
informal collaborative environment. DFRWS conferences publicize and 
discuss high quality research outcomes selected in a thorough peer 
review process.  

The continued expansion of DFRWS EU conferences is intended as a focal 
point for the European digital forensic community, allowing participants
to meet and exchange ideas without the need for transatlantic travel. 
The proceedings of DFRWS EU 2016 will be published in a special issue of
Elsevier's Digital Investigation journal, and will be freely available 
on the DFRWS website.

STUDENT AWARD and STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
DFRWS continues its outreach to students studying digital forensics.
This year DFRWS will be offering an award with a cash prize to the 
best student paper. A student paper is any paper in which the 
majority of the work was performed and the paper written by full-time
students at an accredited university, college, or high school.

A limited number of scholarships may be awarded to students 
presenting a paper at the conference. The intent is to help alleviate 
the financial burden due to the cost of hotel expenses and conference 
registration. For more information, see the DFRWS EU 2016 homepage

Sincerely,
DFRWS-EU Organizing Committee
