The finite element software SAFIR is one of the most used in fire safety engineering for simulating the behaviour of structures subjected to fire. To strengthen the knowledge about the software and the associated tools, the two developers, Prof. Jean-Marc Franssen from Liège University and Prof. Thomas Gernay from Johns Hopkins University have decided to team with Prof. Patrick Bamonte and Prof. Roberto Felicetti to give a 3-day course in Italy, at Politecnico di Milano.

The course consists of three days of in-person instruction covering the theory and application of SAFIR, with worked examples on the thermal and mechanical modules for building and tunnel structures. This course may be of interest to academics, researchers, and practitioners, including current or potential future users of the software at beginner or more experienced level.

The Course is delivered in English, from June 23^rd to June 25^th, 2026, at Politecnico di Milano.
