Having started life as an academic research project, with backing from the UK Home Office, foster+freeman has a long-standing history of working in partnership with leading universities to increase research output and deliver innovative forensic solutions.

Research partnerships between the forensic science industry and academia have become increasingly popular in recent years and offer a range of benefits that can help both parties achieve their goals more effectively. At foster+freeman we recognise the value of collaboration and work hard to encourage and nurture strong partnerships.

Access to Resources and Technology

While foster+freeman are able to supply best-in-class forensic technology, universities are often able to provide the research facilities, practical expertise, and time required to conduct in-depth research into the development and refinement of new forensic methods and techniques. The combination of these resources enables us to make significant strides in multiple areas of scientific research.
