We are pleased to announce the 2027 Gordon Research Conference on Forensic Analysis of Human DNA, which will take place on July 11–16, 2027, at the Hotel NH Noordwijk Conference Centre Leeuwenhorst in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands.
The 2027 GRC edition will focus on “Highlighting Cross-Disciplinary Insights, Artificial Intelligence, and Higher Resolution Approaches”, bringing together forensic geneticists and leading scientists from neighbouring fields to explore how emerging technologies and fundamental research can open new directions for forensic DNA analysis.
The programme will cover a broad range of topics, including genetics in the public eye, omics and long-read sequencing, epigenetics and DNA methylation, forensic investigative genetic genealogy, lineage markers, population genetics and ancient DNA, single-cell analysis and microfluidics, phenotyping, as well as the trust and reliability of forensic genetics.
The conference will provide a highly interactive environment for presenting cutting-edge and unpublished research, exchanging ideas across disciplines, and developing new scientific collaborations. The preliminary programme is now available, with further speakers and talk details to be added as the programme develops.
Applications are now open! We encourage researchers from forensic genetics and neighbouring scientific fields to apply early, as places may be limited.
Mark your calendars and join us in Noordwijkerhout for five days of science, discussion, collaboration and networking!
The organisers are looking forward to welcoming you!
