Abstract
FIRElinks will develop the EU-spanning network of scientists and practitioners involved in forest fire
research and land management with backgrounds such as fire dynamics, fire risk management, fire effects
on vegetation, fauna, soil and water, and socio-economic, historical, geographical, political perception and
land management approaches. It will connect communities from different scientific and geographic
backgrounds, allowing the discussion of different experiences and the emergence of new approaches to fire
research. The main aim of FIRElinks is to power synergistic collaborations between European research
groups and stakeholders with the objective to synthesise the existing knowledge and expertise, and to define
a concerted research agenda which promotes an integrated approach to create fire-resilient landscapes,
taking into account biological, biochemical and-physical, but also socio-economic, historical, geographical,
sociological, perception and policy constraints. This is an urgent societal need due to expected further
intensification and geographical spreading of wildfire regimes under Global Change.
