The Co van Ledden Hulsebosch Center (CLHC) for Forensic Science and Medicine is the interface between forensic experts and the scientific and medical science community in Amsterdam. The interdisciplinary expertise center was founded as a collaboration of the science faculty and faculty of medicine of the University of Amsterdam and the Netherlands Forensic Institute. Guided by the main forensic themes, indicated by the forensic community, opportunities for collaborations, project writing and grant submission will be created or identified and facilitated by the center. For forensic science students, the center provides an overview of forensic internships and public lectures on various topics will be organized for the forensic community and researchers interested in forensic science. The goal is to establish a successful internationally renowned forensic science research program.
