Society’s Annual Autumn Conference & AGM, Dates: 5-6 November, Venue: The Renaissance City Centre Hotel, Manchester
Call for abstracts – We welcome abstract submissions covering the many varying disciplines of forensic science, and research and development within those disciplines. For example this includes, but is not limited to, evaluation and interpretation, trace evidence, DNA, fingerprints, cyber forensics and anti-terrorism. We are specifically interested in accepting case studies, which can act as model examples of where issues were identified and lessons learned, so as to stimulate a series of interactive and enlightening workshops. It would be helpful if case studies and workshops could, within the main theme, cover and reflect topics and issues such as:
- Effective investigative processes
- Evaluation and interpretation of scientific evidence
- Location and identification of minute quantities of trace evidence
- Accident investigation and Scene reconstruction
- Recording at the scene and within the lab
- Mobile technology for scene and lab
Closing date is 30 April 2015. All submissions should be made via the website.
