Since its
establishment in 2012, the FORUM for Advanced Fire Education/ Research in
Asia has served as a platform for sharing knowledge on fire science
education, research, and major fire incidents across Asia. The 10th FORUM,
hosted by Tokyo University of Science, will introduce initiatives in fire
science education and research, discuss national efforts for fire risk
reduction, and address the growing complexity of urban hazards. In
collaboration with the Multi-hazard Urban Disaster Prevention Research
Center, this event aims to foster international cooperation and promote
advancements in fire science and urban disaster prevention. |
