Dear Colleagues
On behalf of the ISFG Board we would like to invite you to attend the 21st. International Congress of the International Society for Forensic Genetics.
The organising committee anticipates an exciting and fruitful scientific meeting where new areas of forensic genetics as well as new theoretical and technological advances in the field will be addressed.
In addition, you will have the opportunity to visit at least one other of the beautiful islands of the Azores archipelago, almost midway between Europe and North America. Although some dispute remains as to when human beings first came to the islands, Portuguese first settled there in the early 15th century. We hope that opportunities to see secondary volcanic activity, watch the whales, and enjoy a unique landscape, will tempt you to take a well deserved break, in addiction to attending what promises to an stimulating scientific meeting.
We look forward to welcome you there.
