Scholars at Lund University carry out research about different aspects of fires, such as fire safety, climate change, biodiversity, public health, conflicts, environmental security, and infrastructure security. However, until now these researchers have not come together in a group to study fires in an interdisciplinary way. This Advanced Study Group brings together researchers from several different disciplines and faculties, who shares a joint research interest around the topic of wildfires. CenCIP is part of the study group focusing on the perspective of critical infrastructure and societal impacts of wildfires. (Contact: Jonas Johansson & Nicklas Guldåker)
