• Contribute to harmonizing fire measurements, monitoring and modelling
• Power synergistic collaborations between research groups
• Raise awareness among policymakers, citizens and stakeholders
• Influence policy related to fire management

Contribute to facilitating creation fire-resilient landscapes based on:

• integrated/integral approach that includes
• biological, biochemical and physical research
• socio-economic, historical, geographical, sociological, and perception research
• policy opportunities and constraints
