Abstract

‘Where to from Here’ (WTFH) was the theme chosen for the 2023 meeting of the International Association of Forensic Sciences (IAFS). This theme reflects the fact that forensic science is evolving rapidly, not only within individual sub-disciplines but, critically, across the whole forensic science landscape. Identifying and predicting evolutionary change will enable a more focused and constructive future for forensic science. The IAFS meeting originally scheduled for 2020 was cancelled due to the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, on 18 May 2021, an IAFS Virtual Event launched the Sydney Declaration as an integral part of the WTFH initiative. The Sydney Declaration articulates a definition and seven principles for forensic science and provides a much-needed platform for forensic science into the future. It is aspirational, not focused on organisations, techniques or protocols, and provides a shared understanding of forensic science and its principles. The 2023 IAFS meeting built on the Sydney Declaration, with five themes developed as the basis for eliciting information from delegates related to the WTFH concept. The themes were: (i) integration and harmonisation; (ii) digital transformation; (iii) research; (iv) education and training; and (v) technology. Information across these themes was gathered via short, sharply focused panel discussions in the final session of each of the 22 disciplines represented at the meeting. In addition, there was a panel-based seminar on the Sydney Declaration and a panel-based plenary session on the conference theme. Meeting delegates were also able to provide their thoughts during the meeting, and for a two-week post-conference window, via a dedicated meeting app. Information from all of these sources has been collated to provide a consolidated WTFH landscape for forensic science.

法医学:何去何从?
国际法医学协会(IAFS)2023 年会议的主题是 "何去何从"(WTFH)。这一主题反映了一个事实,即法医学正在迅速发展,这不仅体现在各个分支学科内部,更重要的是体现在整个法医学领域。识别和预测演变变化将使法医学的未来更具针对性和建设性。由于 COVID-19 大流行病对全球的影响,原定于 2020 年举行的 IAFS 会议被取消。然而,2021年5月18日,IAFS虚拟活动发布了《悉尼宣言》,作为WTFH倡议的组成部分。悉尼宣言》阐明了法医学的定义和七项原则,为法医学的未来提供了一个亟需的平台。该宣言具有远大目标,不以组织、技术或规程为重点,提供了对法医学及其原则的共同理解。2023年国际法医科学联合会会议以《悉尼宣言》为基础,制定了五个主题,作为向代表们征集与WTFH概念有关的信息的依据。这些主题是(i) 整合与协调;(ii) 数字化转型;(iii) 研究;(iv) 教育与培训;(v) 技术。在会议的最后一次会议上,与会的 22 个学科的每个学科都进行了简短、重点突出的小组讨论,以收集这些主题的信息。此外,还举行了关于《悉尼宣言》的小组研讨会和关于会议主题的小组全体会议。会议代表还可以在会议期间以及会后两周内通过会议专用应用程序发表感想。对所有这些来源的信息进行了整理,为法医学提供了一个综合的WTFH景观。
