About

ENFSI

The European Network of Forensic Science Institutes (ENFSI) was founded in 1995 with the purpose of improving the mutual exchange of information in the field of forensic science.

Quality of forensic science delivery in Europe has become the main issue of the network. Besides the general work in the fields of quality and competence management, research and development, and education and training, different forensic disciplines are covered by 17 Expert Working Groups.

ENFSI has been recognised as the monopoly organisation in the field of forensic science by the European Commission.

QCC

The Quality and Competence Committee (QCC) is one of the ENFSI standing committees.

The aims of the QCC are to develop policies and provide advice to the expert working groups and ENFSI members, to help the laboratories comply with best practice and international standards, through:

• Liaison with the QCLG of representatives from ENFSI laboratories and Expert Working Groups
• Meetings of the QCLG
• Conference seminars at open ENFSI forensic science meetings
• Coordination of proficiency tests throughout ENFSI
• Representing ENFSI on forensic quality issues with international organisations

National Forensic Laboratory of Slovenia

The 2026 meeting is hosted by the National Forensic Laboratory of Slovenia, the central forensic science provider supporting the Slovenian criminal justice system.

The Laboratory delivers a wide range of forensic services across multiple disciplines, contributing to the investigation and resolution of criminal cases.

As an active member of ENFSI, the National Forensic Laboratory contributes to collaborative initiatives aimed at strengthening quality, competence, and harmonisation of forensic practices across Europe.
