Fire represents one of the most complex natural phenomena to analyze, due to the large number of variables involved and their interactions. The seminar aims to cover a wide range of topics through a structured narrative, with the goal of providing practical tools useful for fire safety planning and management, offering a comprehensive view that can interpret the sector's new needs.

The topics related to the evolution of Fire & Life Safety will be explored, with particular focus on the shift from a mostly prescriptive regulatory approach to a more performance-based one, where the designer plays a central role and assumes full responsibility in assessing fire risk. The changes affecting the profession will be analyzed, including the growing use of the Fire Safety Engineering (FSE) approach, aimed at quantifying the impact of technical solutions on fire development and designing interventions proportionate to the actual risk, as well as the digitalization of regulations and authorization systems.

In this constantly evolving scenario, the synergy between regulations, technology, and strategic planning is a key factor for the future of fire prevention. Technological innovation and the adoption of advanced design approaches help optimize planning, enabling not only more effective responses but also increasingly proactive prevention strategies.

A specific focus will be dedicated to designing fire safety for ‘green’ buildings and activities, which don’t always ensure adequate safety levels, and to the topic of the energy transition, looking at the safety measures needed to make it sustainable and the impact on the job market. The seminar aims to explore the roles, responsibilities, and specifics of the different players in the sector, offering an overview of the latest innovations in safety and security.
