The workshop’s first panel will address the theme of extreme rural fires in Europe and showcase innovative actions developed by Portuguese partners within the national living lab to mitigate this issue. In the second panel, synergies between EU-funded projects such as FIRE-RES, RESIST, and ResAlliance will be explored, with a focus on the engagement of stakeholders in each specific Portuguese area of these projects. This discussion will delve into the impact of EU-funded projects in Portuguese areas, encouraging the audience to share risk communication and resilience strategies.
