東京理科大学 研究推進機構 総合研究院 火災科学研究所 Center for Fire Science and Technology – TUS

Call for joint usage and research in 2025

We are looking for collaborative research from Japan and abroad.
This year, applications for collaborative research will be accepted in the following categories.

Priority Research Category

A. Research on the early detection of catastrophic events

Details：

In fires, sudden and rapid changes (referred to as catastrophic events) can occur, leading to a dramatic increase in damage. Examples include ignition, transition from smoldering to flaming, flashover, and backdraft. Detecting signs of these events before their occurrence will reduce fire damage and firefighting risks. In AY2025, we solicit research that contributes to the early detection of catastrophic events from a wide range of perspectives.

Large-scale Experimental Research Category

B.Experimental research on building structural fire resistance
（※）Large-scale experimental challenges to use the Structural Fire Resistance Furnace or the Multiple Full-scale Furnace

General Research Category

C.Research on building fire safety

D.Research on material combustion science

E.Research on firefighting and disaster prevention

F.Research on large-scale fires

G.Research on fire safety and risk assessment

H.Other research contributing to the advancement of fire science and technology

Large–scale experimental challenge to use Structural Fire Resistance Furnace, or Multiple Full-scale Innovation category covers to development research contributed to reducing fire risks, such as fire resistant technology, fire protection material development, fire extinguishing technology, firefighting activity support, and it can be expected to be put into practical use in recent years. Period of collaborative research between 1 April 2024 and 31 March 2025
