ITN project PyroLife - training our future leaders in integrated fire management. Funded by @MSCA_actions. Created and lead by @dr_firelady











We couldn't be prouder of Kathleen Uyttewaal, "Kata", for winning the @WUR Research Award 2025 for Transdisciplinary research of the year! 🥳 Watch this video with which she presented her candidacy for the award 📹 She talks about transdisciplinary research, fire and her PhD on adaptation pathways to living with fire, which she carried out with us and #WUR, and as part of @PyroLife_ITN 🔥 🗣️""Most solutions to the climate crisis already exist at our fingertips. It just takes embracing plural ways of doing"👏

I am excited to share our latest publication on wildfire protection, a paper led by @DossiSimona in the journal Fire and Materials. "Exploratory Simulations on the Effectiveness of Sand Protection Strategies Against Firebrand Accumulation in Wildfires" We investigated how infrastructure protection designed against sand accumulation can be adapted to fight firebrands during wildfires. Using computer simulations, we evaluated the performance of trench and wall barriers in shielding structures from firebrands under varying wind conditions. Findings suggest these strategies can significantly reduce firebrand exposure, translating innovation from another field to enhance wildfire safety.
