Historic alliance between Dundee and Dublin

The 6th Annual Scientific Meeting of the British Association for Human Identification was the setting for a formal alliance between the units of forensic anthropology at the University of Dundee and University College Dublin.

Professor of Anatomy Forensic Anthropology Sue Black explains, "We have a memorandum of understanding that the staff of the unit at Dundee will assist those in Dublin to achieve professional competence and recognition in the discipline. The Dundee:Dublin relationship is the first part of a support mechanism in this subject that will ultimately lead to an international network of universities that offer fully integrated degree programmes that are open to the exchange of both staff and students.
