French Speaking Working Group
In memory of Peter M. Schneider (1955-2022)
Over the years, some of the FSWG had the chance to discuss or mail exchange with Professor Schneider on different matters. He has always been of good advice, open-minded and very approachable. The FSWG is grateful for Professor Schneider's work and great involvement in the forensic biology field of expertise. He remained involved until the end by still presenting himself for secretary of the group and is an example of perseverance. Thank you to Professor Schneider for his unwavering commitment.Objectives of the FSWG include:
- to continue the collaborative exercises,
- to consider the problems related to the future accreditation of the laboratories (ISO 17025),
- to exchange information about casework experience,
- make recommendations for the French-speaking forensic community.
