Tracks

Selected by the EAFS 2025 Scientific Committee, the conference tracks incorporate the areas of Forensic Science covered by the ENFSI Expert Working Groups (EWG). These tracks are curated to assist attendees in identifying sessions that align with their specific areas of interest. Forensic science is a multi-disciplinary field, bringing together the theory and practice of various sciences to assist the justice system and we encourage the submission of conference abstracts in multiple tracks. As some of these tracks encompass diverse areas of interest, we have identified topics for some of these tracks.
