Conferences

To provide for adequate dissemination of criminal justice and security research findings, facilitate a regular exchange of ideas between scientists, as well as to give the floor to the experts to express their views and publish the results of their own studies, the faculty of Criminal Justice and Security organizes international and national conferences, consultations, and roundtables.

Criminal Justice and Security in Central and Eastern Europe

The most famous among these is the biennial Criminal Justice and Security in Central and Eastern Europe conference. Starting in 1996 and reconvening for its tenth session in 2014, it has focused on and dealt with a good many topical areas spanning Comparing Firsthand Knowledge with Experience from the West (1996), Organizational, Managerial, and Human-Resource Aspects (1998), Ethics, Integrity, and Human Rights (2000), Deviance, Violence and Victimization (2002), Dilemmas of Contemporary Criminal Justice (2004), Past, Present and Futures (2006), Social Control in Contemporary Society – Practice and Research (2008), Social Control of Unconventional Deviance (2010), and Contemporary Criminal Justice Practice and Research (2012). Hosting experts from worldwide and reaching far beyond the borders of Central and Eastern Europe, this event has earned a reputation of being an excellent criminological, criminal-justice-and-security, as well as critical social science conference on social control in modern society. As a rule, participants’ contributions are published, in English, on the NCJRS homepage and in scientific monographs.

European Interdisciplinary Cybersecurity Conference (EICC)

The European Interdisciplinary Cybersecurity Conference (EICC) is the flagship annual international cybersecurity conference overseen by the Faculty of Criminal Justice and Security at the University of Maribor aiming at establishing a venue for the exchange of information on cybersecurity and its many aspects between academics and practitioners in Europe. EICC was formerly known as the Central European Cybersecurity Conference (CECC) and has been rebranded in 2020 to underscore the interdisciplinarity of the conference and broaden its reach. The conferences were hosted in Rennes, France (EICC 2020; virtual), Munich, Germany (CECC 2019), and Ljubljana (CECC 2018, CECC 2017). Conference proceedings have been published by ACM and indexed in all major bibliographic databases (Web of Science, Scopus, dblp) since 2018.

EICC 2021 will be held in November 2021 in Targu Mures, Romania.
