On 20-23th November 2017 Caparica (Portugal) was held The I International Caparica Conference in Translational Forensics. This event aimed to connect in a transversal way all who involved in Forensics with the objective of join together as many forensic disciplines as possible. The idea was to share the latest advances in forensic research and forensic technology as well as to report on their implementation in real cases.
Conference Subjects of the conference were: 1) new trends in Forensic Analysis; 2) new views for traditional forensics; 3) Forensic Pathology; 4) Death Investigation; 5) Forensic Sciences; 6) Forensic Psychology; 7) Forensic Psychiatry; 8) Policing; 9) Legal and Judicial Systems.
