From May 21 to 24, an international conference will be held in Parma, with the sponsorship of SIMLA, organized by EAFE (European Association of Forensic Entomology).
The meeting
Here’s how the organizers present the event:
The prestigious international conference EAFE will take place alongside the annual GIEF meeting (Italian Group of Forensic Entomologists) at the Institute of Legal Medicine in Parma from May 21 to 24, 2025.
The program, currently being defined by the scientific committee (composed of both EAFE and GIEF boards), includes invited talks, sessions dedicated to oral communications and posters (following a preliminary selection), and possibly a theoretical-practical workshop.
Our affiliated group SIMLA intends to give ample space to forensic medical cases and research in this field, hoping for participation from students, residents in legal medicine, and experts in various forensic sciences (thanatology, anthropology, molecular genetics, toxicology etc.) in order to promote an interdisciplinary approach to using insects in investigations.
