South Eastern Mediterranean Excellence Development In FIre REsearch

A Twinning project under Horizon Europe call: HORIZON-WIDERA-2021-ACCESS-03

Project

No longer a rare occurrence, extreme fires during summer months are not only frequent but also more intense and longer lasting. In Europe, most fires occur in southern countries characterised by a Mediterranean climate. What’s more, the combination of droughts and heatwaves has made prevention and firefighting difficult. This makes research concerning fire safety and management essential for the Southern and Eastern (SE) Mediterranean region.
