Background of the RFCS Project DIFISEK+ This project is funded by the European Commission in the frame of the Research Fund for Coal and Steel The aim of DIFISEK+ is to promote different projects of the last decades d that t dealt with fire engineering i and, which h results have been implemented in the EN 1991-1-2. This objective will be reached trough seminars held in different European countries.
