The Global Congress on Forensic Science and Research 2026 brings together world-leading scholars, forensic practitioners, and justice stakeholders under the theme “Tradition, Application, and Justice.” This theme emphasizes the enduring foundations (tradition) of forensic science, the evolving techniques and technologies (application), and the ultimate role of forensic work in supporting fair judicial outcomes (justice).
In a hybrid mode, participants may attend in person in Dubai or join virtually, enabling broad international engagement. The congress will showcase frontier research, case studies, method validation, and cross-disciplinary innovations. Attendees can benefit from intensive workshops, skill-building tutorials, and interactive panels confronting real-world forensic challenges. Beyond formal sessions, the congress facilitates global networking, institutional collaborations, and future research partnerships. Whether you are an academic, forensic lab professional, legal authority, or graduate researcher, this conference offers a forum to advance the science, policy, and practice of forensic investigation.

Dubai is a global business, innovation and tourism hub, blending futuristic skyline, cultural heritage, and excellent connectivity. Known for its cosmopolitan spirit, world-class infrastructure, and hospitality, Dubai offers a compelling destination for an international scientific congress. Participants can explore iconic landmarks (Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Creek), enjoy luxury tourism and desert safaris, as well as benefit from ease of international travel and visa support in the UAE.
Our in-person sessions will be hosted at the Dubai International Convention & Exhibition Centre (DICEC / DWTC complex) in downtown Dubai. This venue offers over one million square feet of flexible event space, multiple exhibition halls, grand ballrooms, and numerous breakout meeting rooms.
Sheikh Maktoum Hall (3,589 m²) and Al Multaqua Ballroom (1,000 m²) are among the key halls configurable for large plenaries and parallel tracks.
The venue is equipped with state-of-the-art audiovisual systems, robust connectivity, and logistical support ideal for hybrid conferencing.
Moreover, the location is central to Dubai’s business district, offering easy access to hotels, public transport, and airport links. This combination of capacity, technology, and accessibility made DICEC/DWTC a natural choice for a premier global event in forensic science.
