Our first speaker, Professor Niamh Nic Daeid | University of Dundee, described the approach to interdisciplinary working that is followed within her research centre.  The Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Science has communication and engagement at the heart of its work.  It brings together interdisciplinary teams of forensic scientists, judges, police, crime scene investigators and people outside of the criminal justice system including the public to work together to discuss the challenges that the criminal justice system faces and develop innovative and creative solutions.  At the heart of the centre is its multicultural and interdisciplinary staff where everyone’s perspective, experience and input is truly valued.
