The former European Paint & Glass Working Group has been renamed to European Paint, Glass & Taggants Working Group. It was established in October 1995 in Wiesbaden.
Currently more than 40 forensic science agencies from about 26 European countries are participating in the European Paint, Glass & Taggants Working Group activities. There is also co-operation with the RCMP (Canada) and the FBI (USA).
In this session, we will explore how modern forensic technology helps bridge the gap in international forensics. We will discuss the challenges faced in international forensic science, how we are addressing these challenges, and the role of advanced technology in closing this divide.
