D4.3 - Set-up of Working Groups

Thematic Working Groups (WGs) are a central part of the Firelogue project. They offer a space for experts of the three Innovation Actions (IAs) and the wider (European) Wildfire Risk Management (WFRM) community to exchange ideas and debate issues in order to come up with holistic and effective policy recommendations. Furthermore, they serve to integrate the IA and FirEUrisk innovations and results into multi-stakeholder recommendations at EU level related for example with the EU Forestry Strategy, the Biodiversity Strategy but also civil protection policies.
Over the course of the project’s lifetime, the five WGs will discuss a range of different topics within their field (Ecology/Economy, Societal, Insurance, Infrastructure and Civil Protection) during two Workshop Cycles, as well as in cross-WG meetings to discuss overarching issues in WFRM.
The deliverable outlines both the basic criteria for the WG composition, as well as a detailed timeline for the next and most important steps for all Working Groups.
