Our Journey
2011
The origin of the European Forensic Institute brings us back to 2011, when experts in the fields of criminology, investigation, insurance and security decided to join forces to establish a working group. The purpose is to create a professional hub in the field of forensic investigations, based on the corporate philosophy of major US law firms and businesses which operate in this field. The project team dedicated itself to provide a wide variety of consultancy services to cover the needs of the courts, police forces, lawyers, insurance companies and businesses, ensuring efficient services thanks to operational offices spread throughout Europe.
2018
The European Forensic Institute was founded in 2018 from experiences gained in education and consulting. Malta was chosen to undertake this new academic experience for a specific reason. Malta is a country with thousands of years of history where since ancient times and for many reasons, different cultures and traditions, from north Europe to Middle East, have met and have mixed together creating a truly unique society. Moreover, this island represents one of the most important pivots in the Mediterranean in fields such as IT and is one of the most reliable business centers in the world. Malta, finally, is one of the few European countries that is both part of the European Union and the British Commonwealth. In other words, Malta is the most suitable place for higher education, especially in the field of forensic sciences, for students who wish to study on at international level.

Where we are
The European Forensic Institute is located in the futuristic Malta Life Sciences Park (MLSP). The MLSP was conceived by the country’s economic development agency, Malta Enterprise, to provide an international class facility for life sciences and information technology development. The MLSP is designed to promote research and development and to spur the growth of the life sciences sector in Malta, building on the base that the country developed in the pharmaceutical industry during the last decade.
Co-financed through the European Regional Development Funds, the MLSP is divided into two main components: the Malta Life Sciences Centre and the Malta Digital Hub. In total, there are currently 13,500sqm of space comprising laboratories, offices, a seminar room, meeting rooms and various shared facilities.
The MLSP supports and encourages growth and success among its tenants, offering a stimulating environment for knowledge-intensive companies. Regardless of a company’s size or stage of development, the MLSP offers access to experienced and professional business and financial advice, as well as assistance for internationalization. A well-balanced combination of entrepreneurial and industrial competence is essential for the growth and development of every company, and at the MLSP there are no limits on a company’s opportunity to continually improve, develop and grow.
The Park is designed to provide a healthy work environment backed up by Malta’s pleasant lifestyle and climate
It is strategically positioned near the island’s main general hospital, the Oncology Centre and the University of Malta. This encourages closer collaboration the medical community and the ongoing exchange of knowledge, ideas and experiences.
