Symposium ISTSS 2008

This Symposium began in Sweden in 2003 as The International Symposium on Catastrophic Tunnel Fires. This first symposium attracted more than 200 delegates and prompted a broadening of  the scope to the 1st ISTSS, held in Washington, DC, and the 2nd ISTSS in Madrid. In all cases the program has been largely by invitation only, and the work of a select few on the program committee. Response to the previous Symposia has prompted the organisers to change the focus to a traditional conference with submitted papers.

The Symposium Themes were:
  • Case studies
  • Design studies and criteria
  • Active and passive fire protection
  • Security in tunnels
  • Incident management
  • Threat and risk assessment
  • Threat deterrence
  • Emerging research
