Due to novelty of our panel (Forensic Entomology) in this congress there are more questions about this subject. Members of this panel (R. Maalouf, chair, and L. Iancu, member and me) responded the questions and described the forensic entomology and its importance in crime scene. The status of the forensic entomology around the world, its needs and its future has been explained for the attendance during and after the lectures. |

Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : |
Few months before the congress we’ve established an online internet group entitled “forensic-entomology-research group”. The members of this group decided to start an international research study in the field of forensic entomology. We have started a joint study with the subject of forensically important fly diversity in Romania, Iran and Italy. Results of this work has presented as an oral presentation in the congress. We discussed about completing of this works and planned for future work. During the congress we finalized an international joint project entitled “Study on arthropod succession patterns on experimental dead body”. This study will be done in at least three countries, Iran, Romania and Lebanon. The novelty of this work is its plane to be done synchronized in all volunteer countries. It will give us very useful results about the influence of global latitudes and altitudes and various climatic conditions on the succession patterns on dead bodies which is very important in forensic entomology. |

Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : |
This congress was very well organized and everything have prepared. With a very good program they succeeded to conduct oral presentations in one amphitheater which makes well managing of the time. There were synchronized translators for non Romanian delegates.
Serving the lunch and coffee breaks in the lobby of the congress building makes a good time managing for continuing the presentations and well discussions between participants.
The building of the congress was in the middle of the town which was very accessible to the various kinds of hotels as well as reducing the costs of Taxi services and accessing the presentations on time.
The reduced amount of registration fee was very good idea to attract scientists. |
