If you are interested in attending, please contact: info@mefistoforestfires.eu. MEFISTO Project, coordinated by the University of Florence, aims to raise the preparedness level through an efficient and standardized training protocol developed by a representative network of Mediterranean stakeholders.

This project addresses new opportunities for interoperability between Mediterranean training centres, allowing international cooperation against disasters related to forest fires. MEFISTO also aims at establishing training programs with specific sessions on the organization, protocols and procedures applied in neighboring countries. Its general objective is to improve the effectiveness of cross-border firefighting and to allow an easy and safe transfer of human and material resources from one Country to another.
