Recent Breakthroughs in Forest Fire Research
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
The International Conference on Forest Fire Research (ICFFR; www.adai.pt/icffr) has established itself as one of the most relevant forums worldwide for promoting science and technology exchange alongside state-of-the-art wildfire research. Gathering in Coimbra, Portugal, every 4 years since 1990, it brings together the most prominent scientists of the wildland fire research community. The 9th conference will take place in November 2022 and, once again, it will cover a broad range of subjects, as is shown by its Topics list, and aims to investigate the different aspects of wildfire management, from preparedness to response, mitigation and recovery. We highlight that submissions for this MDPI Topic Collection are restricted to Conference attendees only.
The Topics for original papers aim to cover all aspects of wildfires and include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Decision support systems and tools;
- Fire at the wildland urban interface;
- Wildfire risk assessment;
- Wildfire risk reduction;
- Wildfire risk adaptation;
- Wildfire management and safety.
We welcome you to share your up-to-date knowledge, developed by you and/or your research group, with the 9th ICFFR, hoping that we will collect valuable contributions to create a unique Topic collection in MDPI journals.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
