The organizers of this year's Congress were faced with a very serious challenge - the war that Russia started against Ukraine. There were considerations to cancel the Congress, but after receiving support not only in Lithuania, but also from many research centers abroad, it was decided to hold it in Vilnius.
More than 80 participants from ten countries registered for the Congress. The programme included over 30 presentations on current topics of criminology and forensic expertise. Among the speakers were well-known foreign and Lithuanian scientists: Prof. V. Shepitko (Ukraine), Prof. T. Tomaszewski (Poland), Prof. J. Metenko (Slovakia), Prof. P. Kipouras (Italy/Greece), Prof. M. Fryštak (Czech Republic), Prof. V. E. Kurapka (Lithuania) and many others.
