Humanitarian Forensics Conference

Humanitarian Forensics Conference

October 17-18, 2026

This inaugural event of the ASU Humanitarian Forensics Hub is made possible by a generous Principled Innovation Grant from Barrett, The Honors College, Arizona State University.

This is a conference on Humanitarian Forensics, which is using forensic science to identify people who died in catastrophes, were buried in mass graves, left for dead and are considered missing.

Global Chamber supports this initiative to give families seeking answers more closure.

Consistent with ASU’s Charter, we aim to create an inclusive environment where all feel welcome. We recognize that the topics addressed in the conference may be difficult for some audiences. Emotional support will be available.

All attendees are asked to abide by the principle of “do no harm” and to refrain from including unnecessary or exploitative images of human remains in presentations.

Students and broader members of the community are especially encouraged to attend and participate in this event.
