Benefits for Our Members
The Biometrics Institute offers a large range of informative services, as listed here on this page, including guidance and thought leadership materials, blogs, events and our various expert groups. Below are some additional services available to members:
Online Resource Library
Have you recently visited our online resource library? We regularly add articles, white papers, research papers, and other informative resources to the online library. Once logged in, members can search for resources by specific topics and even upload their own papers and research. Enjoy reading!
Capability Surveys & Briefing Day for Members
Where appropriate, we will be delighted to work with our members on surveys that will help promote the responsible use of biometrics. Our extensive network of contacts from around the world provides a rich source of data. Members can engage us to develop a straightforward online questionnaire to survey our contact base. One to one meetings with specific suppliers or a briefing day can then be arranged.

Universities and research institutions are encouraged to participate in our network and exchange information on the latest biometric studies.

We also encourage members to tweet about membership with us, mention it in tender submissions or issue a press release – we would be delighted to work with members on any drafts.
