European Chapters

The Society has 19 chapters and five student chapters located in the European region that work to advance the mission of the Society on a regional level. Many of the SFPE chapters offer scholarships to aid in fire protection and fire safety engineering education in their communities. If you are interested in joining a chapter, contact them directly.
If you don't see a chapter in your country and are interested in starting one please contact us at chapters@sfpe.org and we will help you get one started.

The SFPE Student Chapter in Edinburgh offered the possibility to institutionalize and organize the current dynamic, social and academic movement among the students who are pursuing courses in fire safety-related degrees. The Student Chapter provides advice and support to undergraduate and postgraduate students on their research work, as well as collaboration opportunities and social activities. ~ Juan P. Hidalgo, Past President of the University of Edinburgh SFPE Student Chapter
