BRE Centre for Fire Safety Engineering

The BRE Centre for Fire Safety Engineering is a research group within the Institute of Infrastructure and Environment, in the School of Engineering at The University of Edinburgh, conducting research in fire, structures and the environment.

The University of Edinburgh has a long tradition in Fire Safety Engineering research and education and is recognized internationally for its work since the early 1970s. The Centre is currently formed in association with the BRE (formerly the Building Research Establishment) to integrate the resources of both institutions and provide a thrust for fire protection engineering research and education. It has a state-of-the-art experimental facility (the Rushbrook Fire Safety Laboratory), a second lab in development and staff whose expertise covers a wide range of subjects in Fire Safety.
