Kriminalistik Simulation Labs — HBP i3 2025/32
Kriminalistik Simulation Labs — HBP i3 2025/32 — is an educational innovation project with a primarily teaching-oriented mission, focused on advanced training in Forensic Sciences and Criminalistics.
The project is framed within the Collaboration Agreement between the Basque Academy of Police and Emergencies — AVPE — and the University of the Basque Country / Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea — EHU — for the creation and development of the University Teaching and Research Hub in Forensic Sciences and Criminalistics — ZiForKrim. It is developed with the participation of the Scientific Police Unit of the Ertzaintza.
Kriminalistik Simulation Labs is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 16 — Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions, by contributing to rigorous scientific training applied to the justice system.
Forensic science, understood as a retrodictive and multidisciplinary science, is not limited to the technical analysis of traces or material evidence. It also requires logical and contextual assessment, strict traceability procedures, and methodological safeguards capable of ensuring the reliability of forensic conclusions.
From this perspective, Kriminalistik Simulation Labs provides an immersive and collaborative learning environment, connected with specialised professionals and academic centres, and designed to guide students in the applied understanding of the scientific method in complex forensic contexts.
