YOUR
INVITATION
The
Symposium Planning Committee invites the fire science
community to “Meet in Maryland”
in June 2011 on the campus of the University of Maryland
at College Park for the 10th International Symposium on
Fire Safety Science sponsored by the IAFSS.
This is one of the premier symposiums for the dissemination
and discussion of peer reviewed scientific research focused
on the prevention and mitigation of fire losses. Join
the conversation and contribute, learn, and interact with
the top fire scientists in the world in what is expected
to be a dynamic series of events addressing the most current
fire science issues of the day.
