The Institute of Eco-Environmental Forensics, Shandong University, Qingdao Campus, invite you to attend and present at the International Conference on Eco-Environmental Forensic Science (ICEEFS 2024).
The theme of this first conference is: Eco-Environmental Challenges in the Asia-Pacific Region. The Asia-Pacific region faces many environmental issues such as air, water and soil contamination; new and emerging contaminants; biodiversity loss; climate change and natural disasters. Environmental forensic science can play a vital role in addressing these challenges by identifying the sources, pathways and impacts of environmental contaminants, as well as providing scientific evidence for environmental litigation and remediation. The conference will cover a wide range of topics related to environmental forensics, such as:
Contaminant source identification, apportionment and tracking
Novel approaches and analytical methods
Demonstrating ecological effects
Eco-environmental damage assessment
Remediation technologies
Environmental risk assessment and management
Environmental policy and regulation
Environmental justice and ethics
Environmental education and communication
Case studies and best practices
Illegal export of cultural items or biota
Keynote Presenters It is planned to invite relevant leaders in the field to attend the meeting and introduce China's ecological environmental damage identification, assessment, decision-making and deployment and related requirements; Well-known experts and scholars at home and abroad will be invited to make keynote reports on the theme of the conference, including Prof Jeff Obbard (CCRS, Singapore). Poster Communication In order to provide on-site face-to-face communication opportunities for participants, quickly establish academic contacts, potential future collaboration and exchanges, wall posters are displayed during the conference. Wall poster size: 90cm(width)*120cm (height). Scientific and Technological Exhibition An exhibition of scientific and technological achievements in the field of environmental forensic medicine will be held during the conference to display innovative scientific and technological achievements, technical products, and share typical engineering cases. The conference provides a 3x2.5 meter fast exhibition booth for displaying results and placing exhibits. Booth is limited, if there is any demand for exhibition, please contact the conference team ([email protected]) to book a booth as soon as possible.

The institute developed a Master's program and a Doctoral program for the "Science of Environmental Forensic" to cultivate talents in the Environmental Forensic field in China.
The main research directions include 1. Pollutant Identification and Traceability. 2. Ecological risk and assessment. 3. Ecological destruction and human health. 4. Accounting of Ecological environmental damage. 5. Law and Policy on Eco-Environmental Forensics.
Relying on the Institute of Eco-Environmental Forensics, the Ministry of Justice and Shandong University established the "Ministry of Justice Hub for Research & Practice in Eco-Environmental Forensics" in October 2019. It implements a new mechanism and system with two different brand names but sharing the same group of personnel. The two parties cooperate in three aspects as follows:
1. Establish and improve the theoretical and technical system of Eco-Environmental Forensics. 2. Explore the training mode of the top talents in Eco-Environmental Forensics and strengthen the cultivation of the application-oriented and compound talents. 3. Set up an intelligent platform and high-end think tank for technical exchange and big data network sharing of Eco-Environmental Forensics, and promote the high integration of scientific research and practice of Eco-Environmental Forensics.
