Call for Paper

International Conference on Fire Safety Engineering Research and Practice, Sydney, 2024 (iCFSERP-2024) will bring international and national experts in fire safety engineering and structural fire engineering research and practice to Sydney to present and share their latest research and practice.

This conference will be organised jointly by the Fire Safety Engineering Research Group, School of Engineering, Design and Built Environment, Western Sydney University and Global Circle for Scientific, Technological and Management Research (GCSTMR).

The main objectives of this conference are to provide an opportunity for professional interaction amongst the researchers, engineers, academics and students, as well as to strengthen the industrial cooperation and showcase the latest developments and future trends in their fields.

The iCFSERP-2024 will feature keynote addresses by world leaders in fire safety engineering and structural fire engineering. All the abstracts, extended abstracts, poster, and full papers submitted to iCFSERP-2024 will be assessed by an independent review panel. All full papers if accepted will be published in the Conference Proceedings with Australian ISBN Number.
