  1. EUFIRELABEuro-Mediterranean Wildland Fire Laboratory,a wall-less Laboratoryfor Wildland Fire Sciences and Technologiesin the Euro-Mediterranean Region 5th International Conference on Forest Fire Research, Figuera da Foz, 27-30/11/2006

  2. OBJECTIVES • EUFIRELAB promotes large exchanges of knowledge, know-how, data, results and analysis for improving the level of the wildland fire sciences and technologies in the Euro-Mediterranean area • EUFIRELAB research units develop common concepts, approaches, and “languages”, and elaborate common methods and protocols for research and/or technological development activities; integrating the specific spatial scales and diverse roles of the Euro-Mediterranean wildland areas. • Beyond these scientific and technological objectives, EUFIRELAB wants to build a network of excellence for wildland fire sciences and technologies in the European Research Area, even after the end of the 5th and 6th Framework programmes of Research and Development. 5th International Conference on Forest Fire Research, Figuera da Foz, 27-30/11/2006

  3. SCIENTIFIC and TECHNOLOGICAL UNITS EUFIRELAB is structured in nine research units: Unit02 Wildland fuel description and modelling Unit03 Behaviour modelling of wildland fire Unit04 Wildland fire, ecosystems functioning, and bio-diversity Unit05 Sociology and Economy in the domain of wildland fires Unit06 Decision support tools in the domain of wildland fires Unit07 Measurements methods of wildland fire (metrology) Unit08 Risks and dangers of wildland fires (cartography) Unit09 Wildland fires suppression, wildland fire-fighters safety Unit10 Management of wildland – urban interfaces 5th International Conference on Forest Fire Research, Figuera da Foz, 27-30/11/2006
