VIII International Conference on Forest Fire Research

The next edition of the Conference on Forest Fire Research will take place in Coimbra, Portugal, from November 9th to 16th, 2018.

The Conference aims to provide an up to date on the developments in forest fire science and technology and an opportunity to meet persons and institutions, to promote international cooperation in this research and management area.

The scope of this Conference follows its previous editions. There will be six major themes to present the works, each of them with several sub-topics, that it's possible to find here in the website. The themes are related to Fire at the Wildland Urban Interface, Fire Risk Management, Decision Support Systems and Tools, Fire Management, Fuel Management and Socio Economic Issues. These themes are not restricted and the organizers are open to other subjects that are proposed, as well.

Two courses, the V Short Course on Fire Safety and the VIII Short Course on Forest Fire Behaviour, will be held before the Conference, as related but separate events.

This information is of interest for those who intend to participate in the conference as authors, attendants, exhibitors or sponsors, but also for all those who are interested in forest fire research and forest management in general.
