• Recent catastrophic wildfires signify the emergence of new fire regimes with increased size, intensity, and severity, marking them as the "new normal."• These extreme wildfires exhibit behaviors such as rapid spread, massive spotting, crowning, deep flaming, and pyroconvection, challenging current understanding and prediction capabilities.• Despite advances in understanding extreme fire behavior, there's still a significant gap in predicting the intensity and size of these events, necessitating further research and new paradigms.• NERO aims to address these challenges by fostering collaboration between wildfire researchers and practitioners to enhance fire management, firefighter training, safety, and public safety planning.• It seeks to establish a new European culture of transnational exchange of expert knowledge, data, and tools to bridge the gap between science and practical wildfire management.• NERO will utilize COST networking tools to train a new generation of experts specialized in tackling the challenges posed by extreme wildfires, contributing to efficient science-based wildfire management.WP1: Historical Extreme WildfiresWP2: Process-based Analysis of Extreme Fire BehaviourWP3: Capacity-buildingWP4: Communication and Outreach

European Union's HORIZON 2020 research and innovation programme: "Search and Rescue: Emerging technologies for the early location of entrapped victims under collapsed structures and advanced wearables for risk assessment and first responders safety in SAR Operations" (Grant Agreement ID:882897)

RESISTANT's aim is to build the first European Crisis Training Platform to train first responders through threefold comprehensive training: educational training with the state-ofthe-art knowledge in safety, ioncluding tools for characterisation of hazards and associated risks, operational training on mockup real scale transport and innovative virtual reality training reprodusing the entire accident scenarios, intervention strategies and tactics including the whole chain of command and communications between all members of the first responders team, facility managers and public such as volunteer firefighters, school children, citizens with disabilities.
