The European Fingerprint Working Group (EFP-WG) is dedicated to advancing excellence in fingerprint detection, imaging, and comparison across Europe. Established in 2001, the group fosters professional development through regular meetings, hands-on workshops, and the sharing of expertise. With two specialised subgroups, Detection and Identification, the EFP-WG supports collaborative research, promotes innovation, and drives quality standards through initiatives such as the Best Practice Manual and proficiency testing. Guided by an elected Steering Committee, the group offers a strong platform for networking, training, and the continuous improvement of fingerprint science in forensic practice.
