Dear esteemed colleagues and fellow forensic science professionals,

 

It is with great pleasure and honor that I welcome you to the 14th Annual Meeting of the Balkan Academy of Forensic Sciences. This year's conference will be held from the 5th to the 8th of October 2023 in the beautiful city of Istanbul, Turkey.

 

Our conference aims to bring together forensic science experts from the Balkan region and beyond to discuss the latest research, developments, and trends in forensic science. As the conference president, I am proud to say that we have gathered an exceptional lineup of speakers and presenters who will share their knowledge and expertise on various topics related to forensic science.

 

The conference program will feature a diverse range of sessions and presentations covering topics such as forensic DNA analysis, digital imaging in forensics, forensic toxicology, forensic anthropology, forensic pathology, forensic nursing and many more. Additionally, we have organized several workshops, poster sessions, and networking opportunities to provide a comprehensive learning experience and foster collaboration among attendees.
