IAFSS
was founded with the primary objective of encouraging research
into the science of preventing and mitigating the adverse effects
of fires and of providing a forum for presenting the results of
such research.The
International Association for Fire Safety Science perceives its
role to lie in the scientific bases for achieving progress in
unsolved fire problems. It will seek cooperation with other organizations,
be they concerned with application or with the sciences that are
fundamental to our interests in fire. It will seek to promote
high standards, to encourage and stimulate scientists to address
fire problems, to provide the necessary scientific foundations
and means to facilitate applications aimed at reducing life and
property loss.
Since its inaugural meeting, the IAFSS has grown to more than
four hundred members. Current members come from Australia, Austria,
Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, Germany, Finland, France,
Holland, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg,
Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,
