ISIFS-2022: 1st International Symposium on Industrial Fire Safety 2022 Karabuk University Karabük, Turkey, June 16-17, 2022

The 1st International Symposium on Industrial Fire Safety 2022 (ISIFS-2022) aims to bring together academicians and industry professionals from Turkey and worldwide at a common platform to discuss problems, solutions, academic ideas, and research on industrial fire safety.ISIFS-2022 which will be held at Karabuk University on 16-17 June 2022, has been designed as a hybrid symposium (both online or face-to-face), due to possible Covid-19 pandemic risks.The focus of the symposium was determined as 'industrial fire safety. Industrial fires cause serious loss of life and property damages. According to statistics, only 40% of businesses that incur a “full property loss” due to fire events can return to the market in Turkey. Industrial fires can quickly turn into disasters according to their location and operational fields relative to residential areas. We hope that the ISIFS Symposium will create cooperation opportunities between different disciplines on industrial fire safety, guide new field research, and turn into a common platform by creating a bridge between academics, industry employees, managers, students, and relevant stakeholders.

The symposium is international, and in this respect, it meets the criteria for associate professorship career objectives according to Turkish Higher Educational Board.
