This is a short information video about The Fire Research and Innovation Centre (FRIC).
The Fire Research and Innovation Centre (FRIC) started in spring 2019. The main objective of the centre is to increase knowledge within the field of fire science in order to support decisions and develop better solutions providing increased fire safety in buildings. FRIC shall strengthen cooperation and lead to a long-term increase of competence and dissemination of knowledge within the fire safety field.
The research is organized into four work packages: 1. Evidence-based decision-making within fire safety 2. Fire dynamics and modeling 3. Building technology and design 4. Fire safety measures and new technology
FRIC is led by RISE Fire Research in Trondheim, with NTNU and SINTEF as research partners. FRIC has partners from the fire and rescue service, public sector, consultancy engineers, manufacturers of building materials and building installations, as well as within real estate development and management
