Where Innovation Meets Forensic Science: Solving Critical Gaps Together

Join us for an engaging panel discussion and collaborative forum focused on advancing forensic science through innovation and partnership. Leaders from government and academic institutions will provide an overview of the current forensic science landscape, highlighting key capability gaps and emerging needs. The discussion will explore where innovation is most urgently required, particularly in areas such as DNA technologies, human identification, and new approaches for locating and identifying human remains—to improve investigative outcomes and help reunite families with missing loved ones.

Following the panel, attendees will participate in a guided, cross‑sector idea exchange alongside faculty, students, and industry professionals with expertise in:

• Robotics and drones
• Sensors and electronic systems
• Life science and medical technologies
• Artificial intelligence and data analytics
• Virtual and augmented reality training tools

This interactive session is designed to spark new partnerships and practical solution concepts that can strengthen forensic capabilities, increase effectiveness in the field, and accelerate real‑world impact. This event is ideal for innovators, technologists, researchers, industry partners, and solution providers interested in applying their expertise to complex challenges with meaningful societal importance.
