Since 1979, Interflam has brought together engineers, scientists, practitioners and regulators from around the globe to hear the latest state of the art papers with the specific intent to create an interface between the researcher, the fire safety engineer and the designer so that good fire science can be promptly harnessed to provide a safer built environment. As with previous conferences the programme offers participants a friendly and open atmosphere to interact with colleagues from around the world and presents ample opportunity to forge new relationships outside their own industrial or academic network. Keynote papers, parallel and poster sessions, exhibits, a student workshop and the inclusive social programme provide maximum opportunities for networking The technical programme consisting of 111 oral presentations and 68 poster presentations are spread over 30 sessions in 3 days. Authors from 30 countries will present their work giving a wide ranging global view of fire science and engineering. All presentations will be available in the Conference Proceedings.

TECHNICAL SESSIONS INCLUDE

Advances in Detection, Suppression and Extinguishment Fire Dynamics Fire Investigation Fire Resistance Fire Resistance –Test Methods and Results

Flame Retardants Furniture Human Behaviour in Fire Ignition/ Burning Behaviour Modelling Natural Disasters Performance Based Codes PV Panels Smoke and Toxicity Structural Fire Design Structural Fire Modelling Testing The Fire Service Thermal Insulation

The Programme Committee invites all those interested in these broad research areas to join colleagues this summer to exchange views and ideas in the convenient and stunning collegiate setting of Royal Holloway College.

LOCATION

The venue for the 13th conference will be at London University's Royal Holloway College. Noted for the Founder's Building, which is modelled on the Château de Chambord in the Loire Valley, the flamboyant architecture make this one of the most spectacular university buildings in the world. The College was officially opened by Queen Victoria in 1886 and includes the world-famous Picture Gallery housing a unique collection of Victorian paintings and Chapel with its fine reliefs and vaulted plaster ceiling.

The parkland campus, bordering Royal Windsor Great Park, is conveniently situated8 miles from Heathrow Airport, 5 mins from the M25 motorway (junc 13) and 35 minutes from London's Waterloo Railway Station. The conference will have exclusive use of the Windsor Lecture Building which offers state of the art meeting facilities. There is ample car parking on campus.

The campus has a convenience store and bank. It is a short walk (5mins) to the village of Englefield Green with its pubs and restaurants and approx 10mins to Egham with it shops, banks, restaurants and the mainline railway station. Famous historic and Royal Windsor is 10 minutes driving by car or bus.
