AIAS at IWAPS 2026: Advancing Privacy-Preserving Technologies at ARES 2026

The 6th International Workshop on Advances on Privacy Preserving Technologies and Solutions (IWAPS 2026) was successfully held in Linköping, Sweden, in conjunction with the ARES 2026 Conference.

AIAS MSCA was among the EU-funded research projects supporting the organisation of this year’s workshop, contributing to a collaborative forum for researchers working on privacy-preserving technologies, cybersecurity, and trustworthy digital systems.

IWAPS 2026 attracted significant interest from the research community, receiving 58 paper submissions, of which 14 were accepted and presented, corresponding to an acceptance rate of 24%.

The workshop brought together researchers and representatives from numerous European R&D projects, fostering knowledge exchange, collaboration, and discussion around current and emerging challenges in privacy and cybersecurity.

AIAS warmly thanks all authors, reviewers, organisers, session chairs, participating projects, and attendees who contributed to the success of IWAPS 2026.

We look forward to continuing these collaborations and meeting the community again at IWAPS 2027, in conjunction with ARES 2027.
