Message from the Chair
Krzysztof Biskup
Chair European Fire Safety Alliance
Dear European fire safety professionals, colleagues and friends,
On behalf of the European Fire Safety Alliance and our esteemed partners, I am pleased to invite you to the fifth edition of the European Fire Safety Week. Over the last four years, we have consistently pursued numerous initiatives with the common goal of improving fire safety across the EU and contributing to the implementation of the European Fire Safety Action Plan.
This year’s edition promises to be equally fruitful and inspiring with the participation of representatives from the EU institutions, fire safety specialists, researchers and other relevant stakeholders. This wide and diverse group once again highlights the importance of our common mission: to improve fire safety for all EU residents.
Fire safety is impacted by and impacts many EU policies and initiatives, especially those related to the ongoing energy transition and Renovation Wave. Therefore, this year, in addition to thematic workshops and webinars, we also want to take stock of fire safety progress at the EU level in 2019-2023 and discuss priorities for coming future.
Our team is diligently preparing for European Fire Safety Week (EUFSW23) and we look forward to sharing further details with you shortly. We are delighted to announce the support of the Members of the European Parliament: Adam Jarubas, Sean Kelly and Maria da Graca Carvalho, Carlos Zorrinho and the contribution of the European Commission representatives: Stefan Moser from DG ENER as well as Katharina Knapton-Vierlich and Heikki Väänänen from DG GROW, Francois Augendre, Silvia Dimova from DG JRC and Aleksandra Klenke from DG MOVE.
Make sure you join us during the EUFSW23 and sign up today!
