For a long time, scientific education has been based on a unidirectional model in which knowledge was transmitted from instructor to student through passive learning. In the context of contemporary higher education, this approach is no longer sufficient.
New generations of learners accustomed to digital environments, interactivity, and complexity, require educational models that go beyond the mere transmission of concepts. Effective training today must promote active participation, critical engagement, and experiential learning, enabling students to internalize knowledge through practice, interaction, and problem-solving.
We have therefore completely rethought how to train a forensic geneticist, introducing:
- Active and immersive learning methodologies
- Real laboratories and hands-on simulations
- Interdisciplinary approaches
- Advanced technologies (AI, probabilistic genotyping, digital forensics)
- Spaces for interdisciplinary exchange
From this year, a new element enriches the program:
“Meet the Expert”, a series of meetings with leading national and international experts.
Not just lectures, but a space where teachers’ experience, real cases, difficult decisions, mistakes, and insights become living material for discussion.
A unique opportunity not only for trainees but also for experts wishing to engage with innovations, test new approaches, and improve their practice.
