NFSU Goa to Host 3-Day Research & Skill Development Programme on AI in Cybersecurity and Forensic Science

A recent post shared by NFSU on X announced that National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) Goa campus will host a three-day Research and Skill Development Programme (RSDP) on Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity and Forensic Science between September 15 and 17, 2025. The conference will be organized in a hybrid format with the possibility of attending both online and face-to-face meetings, mainly focusing on faculty members, researchers, and specialists in the same sphere.

RSDP will provide the participants with current research methods and effective skills oriented on the uses of AI within the rapidly developing sectors of cybersecurity and forensic science. With the evolution of cyber threats, the analysis of digital evidence becoming an important part of the forensic procedure, and both academic and practical applications within the context of the security and law enforcement domains, these interdisciplinary insights are essential to the development of the field of study and potential practical applicability.
