On May 20, 2021, the Evidence Science Research Institute of China University of Political Science and Law celebrated its 15th anniversary. As an important part of the anniversary celebration series, the International Symposium on Evidence Science - "Philosophy of Evidence", "Guidelines for Scientific Evaluation Reports of European Courts", and "Evidence Science Translation Series" (11 volumes), jointly organized by the Institute of Evidence Science, the Collaborative Innovation Center for Judicial Civilization, Renmin University of China Press, and the Journal of Evidence Science, was held at the Institute of Scientific and Technological Appraisal of the University of France.

The opening ceremony of the conference is presided over by Wang Xu. Ma Huaide extends warm congratulations to the convening of this international seminar and the 15th anniversary celebration of the Evidence Science Research Institute. He reviewed in detail the achievements of the Evidence Science Research Institute over the past fifteen years, and emphasized that the publication of the Evidence Science Translation Series has played an important role in strengthening academic and intellectual exchanges in the field of evidence science, promoting the development of the evidence science discipline, and wishing the conference a complete success.

Xu Qingsen delivered a speech to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Evidence Science Research Institute. He pointed out that in the past 15 years, the Evidence Science Research Institute of China University of Political Science and Law has made brilliant achievements in the research of evidence science theory, talent cultivation, and social services, with a focus on interdisciplinary research between humanities and sciences. He also proposed to carry out research combining evidence law and court science, which plays an important role in promoting the construction of the rule of law and achieving judicial fairness. He hopes to seize the development opportunities, leverage the advantages of the platform, and strive to build a first-class and world-renowned evidence science high-level academic institution in China.

Professor Zhang Baosheng delivered a keynote speech entitled "Information from Two New Books in the Translation Series of Evidence Science", promoting the two new books. Subsequently, Professor Zhang Baosheng pointed out four characteristics of the guidelines for scientific evaluation reports in European courts. Firstly, the Guidelines provide a unified standard for forensic science in Europe. Secondly, the conditions and principles for producing a scientific evaluation report in the court. Thirdly, there are four requirements for the scientific evaluation report of the court: balance, logicality, robustness, and transparency. Fourthly, the assignment and interpretation of the Likelihood ratio. The inspiration or reflection brought by this book is whether the scientific standards of Chinese courts should unify the conditions and principles for producing appraisal opinions, and carefully study the advantages and disadvantages of using likelihood ratio as the principle for producing judicial appraisal opinions.

The seminar is divided into three parts: an interactive session for authors and translators, a new book release session, and a Chinese translator session. The attending experts and scholars had extensive and in-depth exchanges on the general theory and methodology of evidence science, the philosophical foundation of evidence law, statistics in forensic science, forensic science, evaluation methods for forensic appraisal reports, and issues related to the 11 volume set of translations of evidence science.

Zhang Baosheng delivered a speech at the closing ceremony. He summarized the content of this conference and highly praised the academic value of this seminar. At this point, the press conference and seminar of the International Symposium on Evidence Science - "Philosophy of Evidence", "Guidelines for Scientific Evaluation Reports of European Courts", and "Translation Series of Evidence Science" (11 volumes) have successfully concluded in Beijing. The Evidence Science Research Institute of China University of Political Science and Law has always been committed to building a learning and exchange platform for the discipline of evidence science, and actively promoting the development of evidence science.
