Research Institute for Science and TechnologyCenter for Fire Science and TechnologyThe Research Center forFire Safety Science CommitteeThe Research Theme Selection CommitteeFacilities and Equipment Control Committee (WG)The Research Theme Planning Committee (WG)As a Joint Usage/ Research Center, cutting-edge joint research is being conducted with researchers from around the world.The AssessmentCommitteeObjectivesOpenCallScheduleReferenceResearchThemeManagementStructureandAssessmentProcedureResearch Center for Fire Safety Science(Management Structure) The Research Center for Fire Safety Science Committee (“the Committee”), playing the central role in the Center, consists of a chairperson and 10 members (5 from inside and 5 from outside of TUS). The Committee is the supreme decision-making body of the Center that develops a research and operation policy, formulates a management policy (including budget drafting), and plans research projects such as deciding a theme to call for entries. Aiming to support smooth operation of the Center, the Research Theme Selection Committee and two special committees (called Working Groups or WG) are placed under the Committee. The Research Theme Selection Committee and two special committees function as follows respectively:The Research Theme Selection Committee This committee makes judgment on acceptance or rejection of applications received. Judgment will be made considering whether the research objective is defined clearly, the plan and the methodology are appropriate, proposed budget is reasonable, and whether the research outcome has potential for further development. Facilities and Equipment Control Committee (WG) This committee (WG) is primarily involved in the operation planning of the full-scale experimental facilities. It is also responsible for the maintenance of facilities and equipment installed in the institution. In addition, it gives users instruction on how to use these facilities and equipment and on safety control.The Research Theme Planning Committee (WG) This committee (WG) draws out research themes and projects that are appropriate for the collaborative use or research and that serve the purpose of the Center and fulfill a social need.The Assessment Committee This committee functions as an assessing body of the Center by providing interim and ex-post evaluation on the progress and outcome of research projects.The purpose of this center is to promote research and education on fire safety and to contribute to the promotion of fire safety research and education in Japan, as well as scientific education and research for the next generation of students and researchers, by providing for joint research and use.ObjectivesWe would like to further strengthen the activities of the center by enhancing its networking and human resource development functions to form a center of excellence for education and research institutions in the field of fire science around the world.● Announcement of the theme● Application period● Notification of acceptance● Conducting collaborative research● Briefing report of achievement In fires, sudden and rapid changes (referred to as catastrophic events) can occur, leading to a dramatic increase in damage. Examples include ignition, transition from smoldering to flaming, flashover, and backdraft. Detecting signs of these events before their occurrence will reduce fire damage and firefighting risks. In AY2025, we solicit research that contributes to the early detection of catastrophic events from a wide range of perspectives. Large-scale experimental challenges to use the Structural Fire Resistance Furnace or the Multiple Full-scale Furnace.Future Development Goals The Research Center for Fire Safety Science conducts collaborative research with researchers within and outside the Tokyo University of Science. The Center aims to promote research and education on fire safety and facilitate collaborative research. By publishing its outcomes, the Center contributes to the advancement of fire safety research and education of those who will lead the next generation. Research centered on multidisciplinary theoretical and practical aspects of fire safety utilizing large-scale experimental facilities is being conducted, contributing to reducing fire losses. The Center solicits research proposals from domestic and international sources, aiming to contribute to reducing fire risks in urban spaces utilizing state-of-the-art technologies. The Center invites and accepts research plans from public basically once a year research activities of the selected plans start at the beginning of each academic year. However, research of urgency may be accepted at any point of an academic year as needed. The rough schedule of the application is as follows: The following proposals are open: Priority Research Proposals A, Large-scale Experimental Research Proposals B, and General Proposals C through H.[Priority Research Category]A. Research on the early detection of catastrophic events[Large-scale Experimental Research Category]B. Experimental research on building structural fire resistance[General Research Category]C. Research on building fire safetyD. Research on material combustion scienceE. Research on firefighting and disaster preventionF. Research on large-scale firesG. Research on fire safety and risk assessmentH. Other research contributing to the advancement of fire science and technologyJoint Usage/Research CenterResearch Center for Fire Safety ScienceDirectorProfessor,Department of Global Fire Science and Technology,Graduate School of Science and TechnologyKen MatsuyamaDr.Eng.This center is expected to achieve efficient and effective results by taking on the role of consolidating knowledge in Japan, with the aim of contributing to the reduction of fire damages and the control of potential fire risks. At the same time, a great deal of research is being conducted with a focus on “theory” in fire science across multiple disciplines and “practical” responses through large experimental facilities.Tokyo University of ScienceEstablished: July, 2009 kasaianzen-ml@tusml.tus.ac.jp：early February：February to mid-March：March to April：April to next March：by next April34
