FORREST (FORensic RESearch and Teaching) is an annual international academic conference of interest to academics, lawyers, law enforcement, and forensic practitioners, organised jointly by The Forensic Institute Research Network (FIRN) and The Higher Education Academy Physical Sciences Centre in the UK.

The purpose of FORREST is to present the latest and most relevant work in forensic research and teaching. It is the only conference to deal specifically with the ever-increasing topic of forensic education.

Reviews, case studies, applications, and research programmes are delivered by lectures and workshops that allow every delegate to find and explore something of interest and value to them.

The conference provides excellent opportunities for informal networking and sharing of ideas as evidenced by delegates.

The conference is:

“one of the most useful meetings I’ve attended ”

The next conference is to be held at Coventry University, 29th to 30th June 2010.
