Lecture by prof. dr. h.c. mult. Bruno Hołyst - legend of Polish criminalistics at WSKZ.
On 17 May 2025, the Higher School of Vocational Training hosted a distinguished expert, a legend of Polish forensic science. Prof. Dr. h.c. mult. Bruno Holyst. The topic of the presentation concerned the complex psychological and social mechanisms surrounding crime, victims of crime and the phenomenon of suicide - areas that Mr Professor has been exploring for decades as a researcher and lecturer.

The expert lecture by our distinguished guest attracted a very large audience of students, lecturers and passionate about law, psychology, criminology and homeland security. Professor Brunon Hołyst masterfully combined academic knowledge with practical examples, and his presentation was characterised not only by erudition, but also by an extraordinary ability to convey even the most complex content in an accessible and engaging manner to the audience.

Panellists
The lecture was followed by a panel discussion:
- Prof. Dr. h.c. mult. Brunon Holyst;
- Dr Norbert Malec;
- Dr Irena Malinowska;
- Dr Janusz Bryk;
- Dr Aneta Kazanecka.

Throughout the panel, students actively participated in the discussion and asked questions in large numbers. Many of the listeners declared their willingness to further explore the issues raised, which best demonstrates the power of inspiration that comes from contact with such an eminent representative of the world of science. The best opportunity for another meeting with our guest will be to participate in the 21st International Congress of Forensic Science and Forensic Expertise: Science, Studies, Practice, which will be held on 18-20 September 2025 in European Solidarity Centre in Gdańsk. We warmly invite all those interested to participate in the Congress.
