We are delighted to bring to you the Leverhulme Wildfires Summer Conference 2023, an inter-disciplinary wildfires research conference discussing some of the most pressing questions in the field. The conference will bring together experts and practitioners from the UK and internationally to share latest advancements, challenges and the ways forward.
