On the 4th of July 2023, our team had the opportunity to visit a privately operated underground car park and a public underground car park in the city of Pamplona. Both of these car parks could potentially be a suitable case study for this project.

We are pleased to inform you that submissions are now open for the research topic on Electric Vehicles Fire Risk Assessment in Indoor Car Parks in the Frontiers of Future Transportation journal.

Two weeks ago, I had the enriching opportunity to attend a symposium in Slovenia, focusing on sustainability in fire safety. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Ljubljana, the city's charm added a delightful layer to our experience. Its selection as the venue was impeccable, blending cultural heritage with modern vibrancy.

The symposium itself was a melting pot of expertise, covering everything from sustainable construction products to the challenges of sustainable technologies like PV systems. Discussions on the role of digitalization and Building Information Modelling (BIM) in fire safety were particularly enlightening, showing new ways to mitigate construction errors and promote sustainability.

The event was also a personal joy, reuniting with old friends and forging new connections. The networking sessions went beyond professional formalities, fostering deep, meaningful conversations.

A special highlight was our visit to the fire laboratory at ZAG Logatec on the final day. Witnessing the expansive and immaculate facility was awe-inspiring. It was a testament to the advanced research and dedication in the field. I left the symposium with renewed enthusiasm and a hope to revisit the members of FRISSBE in the future.

This symposium wasn't just a professional gathering; it was a community united in the pursuit of a safer, more sustainable world.
