  • Track 1- Wildfire Science, Behaviour, Monitoring and Modelling

    Physical and environmental processes that drive wildfire occurrence, behaviour, and spread, alongside methods for prediction, monitoring, and detection.Examples could include;
    • Fire behaviour and fire dynamics
    • Fire weather and atmospheric interactions
    • Fuel characteristics and fuel dynamics
    • Fire ignition processes
    • Modelling approaches and predictive systems
    • Fire detection technologies and early warning systems
    • Remote sensing and Earth observation
    • Climate-driven changes in fire regimes
    • Disturbances and fire behaviour

  • Track 2- Impacts of Wildfires

    Wildfire impacts on ecosystems and landscapes, including disturbance dynamics, recovery processes, and long-term environmental change under evolving climatic conditions. Examples could include;
    • Impacts on ecosystems and ecosystem services
    • Landscape-scale fire effects and disturbance dynamics
    • Post-fire monitoring of recovery and regeneration processes
    • Monitoring of burned landscapes (e.g. effect on hydrology)
    • Long-term landscape management strategies
    • Disturbance regimes and future forest management
    • Biodiversity and habitat resilience
    • Climate adaptation in natural systems
    • Emissions
    • Compounding and Cascading Effects

  • Track 3- Fire and Society

    Wildfire risk and human systems, including land use, governance, policy, planning, communication, and societal adaptation to increasingly fire-prone environments. Example could include;
    • Land-use change and fire-prone landscapes
    • Fire History in Central Europe
    • Wildfire interactions with infrastructure and recreation
    • Risk perception and risk communication
    • Governance structures and institutional frameworks
    • Policy and economic dimensions of wildfire risk
    • Climate adaptation strategies
    • Integrated landscape and risk planning
    • Cross-border cooperation and coordination
    • Comparative international perspectives
    • Building community resilience to wildfire risk
    • Wildland Urban Interface
