The 2nd international conference on Behavioural and Social Sciences in Security (BASS20) will take place in Portsmouth, UK, from 30th June to 2nd July, 2020. The conference will focus on three themes:

Better intelligence gathering: This theme adresses the subject of gathering and curating intelligence of all kinds. Information that’s rooted in human interactions and information rooted on offline or online analytics of signals and other digital traces.

Decision making, protective security and risk assessment: This theme addresses the need to better understand how we can protect ourselves, both online and in the physical world.
