European Network of Forensic Science Institutes (ENFSI) and its quality and competence assurance efforts.

Abstract

Introduction The European Network of Forensic Science (ENFSI) was founded approximately ten years ago to fill the need for cooperation and the exchange of experiences and information on development for Forensic Science laboratory managers. To begin with ENFSI could be characterised as a club for managers of broad scientific forensic laboratories, but it has now developed into an organisation with an aim to keep European Forensic Science at the forefront of the world. A detailed description of the development of ENFSI can be found in [I].
