IAFPA

The International Association for Forensic Phonetics and Acoustics (IAFPA) is the professional association for forensic scientists and researchers who analyse voices, speech and audio recordings.

The organisation seeks to foster research and provide a forum for the interchange of ideas and information on practice, development and research in forensic phonetics and acoustics, and to set down and enforce standards of professional conduct and procedure for those involved in forensic phonetic and acoustic casework – members are therefore bound by a Code of Practice.

Become a member: You can find more information about joining IAFPA, as a Student Member or a Full Member, on our membership page.

Social Media: You can follow IAFPA on Twitter, LinkedIn or like our Facebook page for updates. Student members can follow the conversation on Slack – please see the Student Representatives page for more information
