Are you our new PhD Candidate? Topic: Fire safety and fire development in buildings with wooden surfaces More info: fric.no/en/articles/ph… --- Er du vår nye PhD kandidat? Tema: Brannsikkerhet og brannutvikling i bygninger med trekonstruksjoner Mer info: fric.no/articles/phd-s…

This week, SafeBESS visited the fire lab. Earlier this spring, we conducted fire experiments with battery modules in our test facilities. Next year, we will also carry out extinguishing experiments with battery modules and packs. More about SafeBESS: risefr.com/serv.../resear…

International collaboration on PV+fire! Here are some of the people who will work on PV fire safety in IEA Task 15 subtask B1 Fire Safety. iea-pvps.org/research-tasks…

Today, two of our researchers present an ongoing project on fatal fires in Norway and a recently started project on fires starting close to a body at the Safe at Home conference in Oslo.

Results from BRAVENT at the #ROOMVENT2024 conference tomorrow: "Engineering tool for designing a ventilation strategy for small school fires based on the comfort ventilation system" and "The impact of smoke extraction strategy on indoor air quality and ventilation components".

When cultural heritage burns: Tuesday morning this week, the fire service in Copenhagen responded to a fire in the historic Børsen building, one of the most important cultural monuments in Denmark. Find more info and relevant RISE reports in this post: linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

We are also a part of the SafeBESS project on batteries, that will be presented by SINTEF on day 3, Track A, 15:15: Assessment of Fire Safety Design Solutions and Best Practice for Battery Rooms in Buildings in Norway.

This week we had a visit from Birgitte Johannessen, program manager for #hydrogen in @avinor. Erik Westbye Jacobsen presented our hydrogen research project SHIFT2 and the testing that we do on hydrogen and jet fire.

Welcome to PhD defence! Andreas Sæter Bøe: «Experimental investigations on fire performance of the engineered wood products cross-laminated timber and I-joists» April 15th, trial lecture at 10:00 and defence of thesis at 13:00, both online. fric.no/en/articles/we…

Don’t miss the deadline for submitting papers to The 23rd International Water Mist Conference (IWMC) 2024. The deadline for sending in abstracts is the 15th of May, 2024: iwma.net/fileadmin/user…

Nordisk Aviation Products is testing its world-leading air freight containers at RISE Fire Research to deal with a steadily growing challenge: lithium-ion batteries in the cargo. Learn more: risefr.com/about-rise-fir…

This week we had a kick-off for the innovation project #BioBoard, together with @HuntonFiber and RISE PFI 🌲🌲🌲 Development of wood fibre based building products, for a sustainable and fire safe product. Funding: Research Council of Norway & Hunton. Look forward to starting!

Christoph Meraner from RISE Fire Research will give a presentation at the conference Fire Safety in Electrical Batteries in Molde, Norway on Thursday February 29. You can follow the conference (in Norwegian language) on live stream here: vimeo.com/event/4022943/…

Today we're presenting sustainability and fire in architectural design. @AnneSteenHanse1 presents "Fire as a phenomenon" and "Fire, documentation and sustainability", which we work on in @FRICfirecentre. arkitektforbundet.no/Kurs/c53e0f16-…

@FRICfirecentre has a vacancy for a PhD candidate within fire safety in buildings with timber structures!

In the #TREEADS project, we research wildfires together with our many partners. Tomorrow, at 12-2 PM, in the weekly news show “Ukeslutt” on the radio station @NRKno P1, you can hear our researcher Ragni Fjellgaard Mikalsen talk about the Norwegian part of the #TREEADS project.
