The Institute for Applied Criminology and Forensic Science (IACFS) brings together the skills and expertise of Engineers, Computer and Forensic Scientists, Environmental Criminologists and Investigative Psychologists to meet the crime and security challenges of the new decade. It is a truly inter-disciplinary research and consultancy facility established by the University of Huddersfield. This special event launches the IACFS by showcasing some of the original thinking and excellent research being carried out by the IACFS members and their research collaborators throughout the UK.
