* DFC Europe 2027 * https://dfrws.org/conferences/dfrws-eu-2027/ * Digital Forensics Conference Europe 2027, organized by DFRWS, Edinburgh, Scotland, March 30-April 2, 2027. (Abstracts due September 18, 2026; full papers due September 25, 2026, AoE)* The Digital Forensics Conference Europe 2027 (DFC Europe 2027), formerly DFRWS EU, brings together researchers, practitioners, industry professionals, government, and law-enforcement communities to advance the science and practice of digital forensics. The conference welcomes innovative research that advances or challenges the current boundaries of digital forensics and provides practical solutions to real-world digital investigation problems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Anti-forensics and countering anti-forensics - AI-assisted digital forensics - Forensic analysis of AI models - Cloud and virtualized environment forensics - Cryptocurrency investigations - Digital evidence sharing, exchange, and the law - Digital forensic preparedness and readiness - Digital forensic tool validation and triage - Event reconstruction methods and tools - Big Data forensic analysis and visualization - Anonymous network and covert-channel investigations - Incident response, malware, and targeted attacks - Machine learning and data mining for digital evidence - Memory acquisition and analysis - Mobile and embedded device forensics - Multimedia, image, audio, and video forensics - Network and distributed system forensics - SCADA and industrial control systems forensics - Smart power grid and smart building forensics - Steganography and steganalysis - Vehicle forensics, including drones and automobiles - Visualization methods and tools for forensic analysis - Non-traditional and emerging digital forensic scenarios DFC Europe 2027 also features a dedicated *Multimedia Forensics Track*, encouraging research on topics such as media attribution, detection and localization of AI-generated or manipulated image/video/audio content, deepfake detection, and methods for combining forensic algorithms to produce reliable and interpretable evidence. In addition to full research papers, the conference welcomes *industry/practitioner presentations and demonstrations, posters, workshops, and Birds of a Feather sessions*. DFC Europe 2027 will also host the *Digital Forensics Doctoral Symposium (DFDS)* for doctoral students to present early-stage research and receive feedback from the digital forensics community.
