NFSD 2021
The Nordic Fire and Safety Days (NFSD) was held as an online event 15 - 16 June 2021.
Welcome to the Nordic Fire and Safety Days (NFSD) 2021.
The topics ranged from Risk to Fire Dynamics, from issues related to safe Transportation to rescue service, Batteries to evacuation.
There was two Keynote Speakers.
One by Maria de Las Nieves Fernandes Anez, associate professor at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences who will speak about Wildfires in Scandinavia: current situation, expectations and needs.
and on day 2 a keynote lecture by Brian Meacham, from Meacham Associates, who will speak on: Fire safety challenges of green buildings and attributes.
All presentations were pre-recorded and released in real time with the programme. The presenters was simultaneously available for discussion.
You can find the Book of Abstracts NFSD 2021 under Publications on the right hand side.
