ICFIS in Lund, Sweden, postponed to 2023

 
The 11th International Conference on Forensic Inference and Statistics (ICFIS2022) at the Faculty of Law, Lund University, Sweden has been postponed to 2023. Details will be given here: http://www.law.lu.se/#!ICFIS2022
 
This international conference unites lawyers, statisticians and forensic scientists in their interest in optimal reasoning concerning forensic evidence. Technical developments in biological, physical, chemical and digital forensic disciplines are fast and have an increasing impact on law enforcement and the justice system. Examples are DNA profiling, fingerprint and illicit drug analysis, and analysis of large digital datasets for intelligence purposes. Whatever the type of evidence, it can only be of value when it is properly gathered, analysed, evaluated, and communicated by the scientist. Moreover, it should be understood by the legal decision maker. This requires sound statistical and logical methods, and good communication between lawyers and scientists.
