Conferences

3–7 November 2021, Valencia, Hungary
1st International Congress on Fire in the Earth System

Fire is a key component of the Earth System and a prehistoric evolutionary tool for humankind to manage the landscape and to maintain land productivity. In the 21st century, fire is still in the forefront of environmental management but can still defy our understanding and preparedness mechanisms. To face fire-related challenges, scientists, citizens and practitioners must interact and networking. fEs2021 proposes a hybrid conference with scientists, citizens and practitioners to share information, ideas and goals to use fire as a tool for sustainability.

We invite participants with backgrounds from fire dynamics, fire risk management, fire effects on vegetation, fauna, soil and water, and socio-economic, historical, geographical, political, cultural, artistic, perception and land management approaches. We aim to connect scientific communities around the world with practitioners and citizens that will share different experiences and will boost the emergence of new approaches to fire research. fEs2021 will help to synthesise the existing knowledge, to create fire-resilient landscapes based on integrated approaches that not only include biological, biochemical and physical research, but also socio-economic, historical, geographical, sociological research and pays attention to stakeholder perception and policy constraints. fEs2021 will contribute to prepare society, practitioners and scientists to the intensification and geographical spreading of wildfires under the impact of Climate and Land Use Change. Global Change and fire will be two key actors for the fate of the humankind to be discussed in fEs2021.

Sessions on:
1. Fire dynamics
2. Fire risk management
3. Fire effects on biota
4. Fire effects on soil and water,
5. Socio-economic, historical, geographical, political and perception of fire
6. Land management approaches
7. Human evolution and fire
8. Fire prevention and suppression
9. Fire and culture

Proposals for scientific and technical sessions are due until July 1, 2021, and we encourage the development of scientific session in the interfaces of science and practice, in collaboration with stakeholders and land users.
