26th Congress of the International Society for Forensic Genetics Krakow, Poland August 31 – September 5, 2015 ISBN:978-83-942760-1-0 26th Congress of the International Society for Forensic Genetics Dear Friends and Colleagues, We are very pleased that the 26th Congress of the International Society for Forensic Genetics is being held in one of the most beautiful and historic towns in Poland with a long and distinguished academic tradition – Krakow! The conference program encompasses 10 workshops, during which recognised specialists will share knowledge in their fields with us, and plenary lectures, which will be given by eminent scientists with an indisputable influence on contem- porary forensic genetics. The exceptionally rich scientific program, which includes 56 oral presentations and as many as 408 posters, will be additionally enhanced by an equally extensive exhibition program. We believe that the 26th ISFG Congress offers great opportunities to present new research results, exchange ideas and opinions, draw inspiration and make scientific contacts. For six days, the Auditorium Maximum of the Jagiellonian University will be transformed into a discussion forum for forensic geneticists from around the world. The conference venue is located just a few minutes from the historical centre of town, where there are numerous cafes, restaurants and clubs. We are confident that the unique atmosphere of Krakow and the exciting social program will help you to fully enjoy the conference. The Congress would not be possible without the support of many people involved in its organisation, as well as its sponsors. We wish to extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who participated in the preparation of the 26th ISFG Congress. Welcome to Krakow! We wish you a pleasant stay and look forward to a successful and intriguing congress. Enjoy the meeting!
