The ENFSI Scene of Crime event is a leading forum for professionals involved in the crucial first step of forensic science; crime scene investigation. Organised by the ENFSI Scene of Crime Working Group, the event emphasises the vital role of the crime scene in the broader context of forensic science, criminal investigation, and the administration of justice. Recognising that "crime scene" encompasses not only physical locations but also the collection and interpretation of evidence from suspects and victims, the event embraces a comprehensive and inclusive approach. With participation reflecting the diverse interests of police, forensic experts, and law enforcement agencies, the ENFSI Scene of Crime event offers a unique platform to share expertise, explore new techniques, and strengthen collaboration across borders to advance the effectiveness and integrity of crime scene examination.

The European Paint, Glass & Taggants Working Group (EPGTWG), formerly known as the European Paint & Glass Working Group, was established in 1995 and brings together over 40 forensic science agencies from 26 European countries, with additional collaboration from the RCMP (Canada) and the FBI (USA). The group focuses on enhancing forensic practices related to paint, glass, adhesive tapes, and security dyes. Its key objectives include maintaining critical forensic databases such as EUCAP and adhesive tape collections, delivering specialised training, raising awareness of trace evidence, and promoting best practices, quality standards, and collaborative research across the forensic community.
