3rd International Forensic Science Conference – University of Manila

November 30, 2022      Dr. Ranjeet Singh

Forensic science acts like a pillar by assisting law enforcement bodies in establishing an effective justice system.

And with time, its scope has widened manifolds.

To discuss ever-growing opportunities in this field, the 3rd International Forensic Science Conference was hosted from 30 November 2022 to 2 December 2022 by several prominent universities and institutes, namely:

• University of Baguio
• University of Manila
• Sherlock Institute of Forensic Sciences, India
• Holy Angel University

The conference theme was "Forensic Science: Beyond Interdisciplinary Applications." 

It took place in person at the University of Baguio, RCB Dome, and virtually via Zoom.

I felt pleased to deliver a scientific session on 30 November 2022, the first day of the three-day-long International Forensic Science Conference at Plaza Lodge, Baguio City, Philippines.

The conference revolved around:

• Introducing interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary forensic science methods.
• Spreading knowledge and awareness regarding mass casualty incidents.
• Exploring the scientific methodologies and procedures to locate victims during MCIs.
• Exploring scientific models to assist in estimating mortality rates resulting from varied death causes.
• Discussing various moral, ethical, and societal dilemmas that may arise while interacting with victims of MCI.
• Collaborating with experts from different professions along with implementing multiple tactics.

 Many students and professional participants registered themselves to be a part of this gala event.

Also, several people became lifelong members of International Association of Scientists & Researchers (IASR), and it was a great feeling to distribute lifetime membership certificates to them.

IASR provides a platform for budding forensic science students to publish their research papers and gain global exposure. The platform is open to everyone. You can apply for membership here if you want to showcase your skills to the world and acquire fame in the forensic community. 

Also, a week-long visit would have been incomplete without discussing the cultural extravaganza I enjoyed there and the exotic mouth-watering dishes I got to binge upon.

It was a memorable trip, and I loved all the moments I spent there with forensic experts, students, and the people of the Philippines. Thank you, Tess De Guzman Mam, for inviting me to this fantastic conference.
