Key objectives of the partnership include:
- Providing University of Greenwich students with access to Forensic Access webinars, Q&A sessions, and mentorship programmes.
- Creating opportunities for students to work on live industry projects and participate in hackathons.
- Delivering guest lectures and joint events to enrich forensic science education.
Professor Griffiths commented:
“This partnership reflects our mission to create opportunities and deliver impact. By working with Forensic Access, we can equip our students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in a competitive global market.”
