Prepare for the future of forensic sciences with new AI skills

In this theoretical-practical course you will understand the principles of the Craniofacial Superimposition technique, its history and developments. You will learn how to position anatomical landmarks and you will understand the different problems you may face in the application of this technique and how to solve them. You will also become familiar with the Skeleton-ID software, with which you will put into practice everything you have learnt.

With this training you will understand (in addition to all the contents of the course ‘Fundamentals of Craniofacial Superimposition’) the anatomy of the craniofacial complex and the relationships between the skull and the face. You will learn the criteria used by experts to study these relationships and you will analyse correspondences on real cases with the Skeleton-ID software. You will solve cases of craniofacial superimposition from start to finish, making decisions and familiarising yourself with expert reports. Finally, you will understand the latest advances in standardisation and validation of the technique and the challenges that lie ahead.
