Dear Members of I.O.F.O.S., Dear Colleagues and Dear Friends,

We are delighted to announce that the next IOFOS e-Symposium will take place on 6 December 2025, with the theme “Advancements in Forensic Odontology Education.”

This year’s event will explore the teaching of forensic odontology across the world — from undergraduate and postgraduate programs to continuing professional education — highlighting diverse approaches and innovations in dental and medical curricula.

Confirmed speakers represent an international panel from Portugal, Italy, Brazil, Croatia, India, Chile, United Kingdom, Norway, and Australia.

Following the success of the previous IOFOS e-Symposia in 2023 (Young Investigators and Forensic Odontology Research) and 2024 (Artificial Intelligence – Where Are We in Forensic Odontology?), this year’s meeting continues our commitment to global collaboration and academic excellence.

Participation is free of charge, but registration is required.

We warmly invite all professionals, educators, and students interested in forensic odontology to join us for this inspiring global exchange of experiences.

With best regards,
The IOFOS Executive Board
