About This Workshop

This four-hour workshop, organised by Digital Forensics Sweden (DFS), targets DFRWS participants from all stages of the investigative chain within law enforcement. Drawing on the five-question format of previous DFS partner surveys, it turns these into live, interactive discussions. Participants will map their daily operations, research activities and business needs; identify what they require from, and can contribute to, a collaborative network; explore emerging trends in digital forensics; and jointly draft key messages for decision-makers. Combining a plenary introduction with small-group work and facilitated synthesis, the workshop will produce a consolidated view of roles, contributions, priorities and opportunities for future international collaboration. By attending, participants gain a concrete opportunity to strengthen research cooperation, exchange challenges and solutions with peers and ensure their perspectives are reflected in the shared priorities that emerge.
