ICFBR2022 is organized within the framework of the MED-Star project "Strategies and measures for the mitigation of fire risk in the Mediterranean area"(https://interreg-maritime.eu/web/med-star).

MED-Star is a thematic integrated strategic project that faces the challenge of strengthening the forecasting, prevention and suppression capabilities of fires in the cooperation area (Italy-France), to protect and enhance the environmental, cultural and tourist resources of the Maritime space. The general objective of MED-Star is to contribute to the improvement of the capacity of the public institutions involved to jointly prevent and manage the growing risk of fire deriving from climate change in areas with a high anthropogenic presence and of significant naturalistic interest, also through appropriate adaptation actions.

ICFBR2022 is also co-organized by CMCC Foundation (https://www.cmcc.it/#) and sponsored by the EARSEL special interest group on forest fires (http://earsel-ffsig.web.auth.gr/). The journal Forests is Platinum Sponsor of the conference (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/forests).
