The International Symposium on Fire Safety Science is held every 3 years. The next Symposium, the 15^th, is scheduled for 8-12 June 2026 in La Rochelle, France.

The Symposium is the premier fire safety science meeting in the world and has been organized triennially since 1985 by the IAFSS. The program generally has parallel sessions for the presentation of fully peer-reviewed papers over the five days of the Symposium, including invited lectures from the world’s top fire science researchers. Symposium activities begin on a Sunday, with several workshops in the afternoon and a Welcome Reception in the evening. The Symposium also has poster sessions which provide an excellent opportunity to interact individually with researchers about their most recent work. Students are encouraged to participate and awards are made for the best student posters. In addition to the technical sessions, numerous social activities are planned to cater for informal meetings with colleagues and friends. There is a rich array of entertainments and tours included in the companion program.
