International Association of Scientists and Researchers

What International Association of Scientists and Researchers does

The International Association of Scientists and Researchers (IASR), operating under the trade name Forensic Events, is a private non-profit professional association founded in 2016 and headquartered in Delhi, India. The organization operates in the niche domain of forensic science education and community building, delivering a portfolio of conferences, workshops, and continuing-education events for students, early-career researchers, and practicing forensic professionals. Its events span 23 forensic science sub-disciplines — including digital forensics, forensic psychology, cybercrime, and forensic toxicology — and have cumulatively reached 355,000+ participants across 100+ countries with 400+ speakers. The organization does not operate a proprietary technology platform; its digital surface consists of a content website (forensicevents.com), a YouTube channel (Forensic 365), a Certificate Download System for past attendees, and virtual eConference delivery introduced in 2023 alongside its traditional in-person events.

IASR's business model is centered on event registration fees paid by individual participants, supplemented by content monetization through digital channels. The organization is tightly integrated with the Sherlock Institute of Forensic Science (SIFS India), which functions as its core operational partner — supplying speakers, participants, faculty, and content infrastructure. Additional academic partnerships (e.g., University of Turin, JAIN University) extend its institutional footprint. With 12 employees, IASR operates as a lean, mission-driven association rather than a venture-backed entity; no external funding rounds, acquisitions, or major leadership changes are disclosed in the available data. The association's competitive position rests on its accumulated community of participants and speakers, its catalog of 120+ events, and its structural relationship with SIFS India, which together form the backbone of its niche leadership in forensic science continuing education.

Broad incumbents

• Cvent: Enterprise event-management platform used by associations and corporations to run conferences; relevant as broader incumbent in the conference-organization stack IASR competes against.
• Eventbrite: Self-serve event ticketing and management platform widely used for professional conferences and workshops; competing tool for event registration and discovery.

Direct peers

• Forensic Science Society (UK): UK-based chartered body for forensic scientists offering membership, conferences, and publications; directly comparable in mission and member-driven education model.
• Sherlock Institute of Forensic Science (SIFS India): Indian forensic science training institute running its own workshops, certifications, and educational events; IASR's primary organizing partner and most direct domestic peer.
• International Association for Forensic Sciences (IAFS): Global association representing forensic science practitioners and researchers worldwide, organizing the triennial International Congress of Forensic Science — a direct comparator in international forensic education events.
• American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS): Largest U.S.-based professional association for forensic scientists, organizing annual scientific conferences, workshops, and continuing education — directly comparable to IASR's membership and conference model.
• Henry C. Lee Institute of Forensic Science: U.S.-based forensic education provider offering conferences, workshops, and certificate programs in forensic science — closely aligned with IASR's certificate-driven education model.
• The International Association for Identification (TheIAI): International forensic identification professional association running conferences, certifications, and training events for forensic practitioners; also an IASR partner, but functions as a direct peer in the same niche.

Emerging players

• Forensic Magazine: Trade publication and event organizer covering forensic science professionals; comparable in serving the same niche audience via content and conferences, though smaller in scope.

Regional players

• National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) India: India's dedicated national university for forensic and behavioral sciences, offering degrees, conferences, and continuing education; overlaps with IASR's audience but operates primarily as an academic institution.
