The 2026 Symposium on Electronic Crime Research, APWG eCrime 2026, will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, from 2-6 November 2026, bringing together researchers, practitioners, policymakers and industry experts working at the forefront of cybercrime analysis, prevention and response.
As cybercrime continues to evolve across digital, physical and socio-technical environments, eCrime 2026 will examine how emerging technologies, operational systems and criminal infrastructures are reshaping the threat landscape. The symposium will place particular emphasis on the role of artificial intelligence, cyber-physical systems, operational technologies, financial crime, cryptocurrency abuse, social engineering, and the policy and legal challenges involved in countering increasingly complex criminal enterprises.
With peer-reviewed research sessions, training activities, general presentations and a policy roundtable, the event provides an important forum for sharing new methods, evidence-based insights and practical approaches to strengthening cyber resilience. Its focus on both technical innovation and real-world crime prevention makes eCrime 2026 highly relevant to the European Fight against Crime and Terrorism research community, particularly in areas linked to cybercrime, digital investigations, infrastructure protection and cross-sector cooperation.
The deadline for full paper submissions has been extended to 12 June 2026, with training session proposals due by 15 June 2026.
