TIAFT 2009 special edition of Forensic Science International.

摘要

The 47th conference of The International Association of Forensic Toxicologists (TIAFT) had a resounding success in Geneva from 23-27 August 2009. The venue was the International Conference Center located near the UNO building and a short distance away from the lake. TIAFT had already met twice in Switzerland (Zurich and Luzern) before and it was a challenge for the organisors that combined the University of Geneva, the University of Lausanne as well as the Competence Center in Chemistry and Analytical Toxicology (CCCTA - in French) to meet up to past expectations. The organisors prepared both an exciting and demanding scientific programme and workshops for over 500 participants as well as a varied and successful social program. Twenty-four exhibitors sponsored the meeting and presented their most advanced developments in booths that helped participants prepare for their wishlists and budgets!
