International Association of Evidence Science Was Formally Founded in Beijing

This plenary session was chaired by Ronald J. Allen, professor of Law School of Northwestern University in USA. Twenty two evidence law scholars and forensic scientists from China, America, Australia, Italy, Israel, Tanzania, Korea, Japan, Hungary, Vietnam, etc. took part in the session.

The 7th International Conference on Evidence Law and Forensic Science was Held in Freiburg, Germany


The 7th International Conference on Evidence Law and Forensic Science (“the 7th ICELFS 2019”) has successfully held from July 31 to August 22019, in Freiburg, Germany, which was jointly sponsored by the “Double First-Class Initiative” of China, the “2011 Plan” of China - Collaborative Innovation Center of Judicial Civilization (“CICJC”), and the “111 Plan” of China – Evidence Science Innovation and Talent Base, while cohosted by China University of Political Science and Law (“CUPL”), International Association of Evidence Science (“IAES”) and the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law (“MPI”, and organized by the MPI. The 7th ICELFS was attended by more than 80 delegates including evidence scholars and forensic scientists from 19 countries including China, U.S., Germany, U.K., Swiss, Sweden, Spain, Holland, Japan, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Colombia, Tanzania, Poland, Belarus, Mexico, Qatar and Turkey, etc. The Chinese delegation includes 29 legal scholars and forensic experts from China University of Political Science and Law, Ministry of Public Security, Beijing Jiaotong University, North China University of Technology, East China University of Political Science and Law, Sun Yat-sen University, Shandong University of Political Science and Law, Nanjing Audit University, China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment, etc. Led by Professor Baosheng Zhang (Co-Director of the CICJC), the CUPL delegation has a total of 18 members, with 15 professors, 3 Ph.D. candidates, and 1 master students.
