Step into the Canberra Centre during Enlighten and discover UNSW Ignite, an experience that brings wildfires to life in a way you have never seen before.

Sign up for our immersive iFire installation, a real-time simulation of wildfire dynamics that allows you to step inside and experience the look, feel and sound of these extreme events in an interactive 3D environment.

Chat with UNSW’s Bushfire experts who are leading the latest advances in understanding how fires ignite and spread; or connect with the emergency workers who respond to wildfires when they strike. UNSW Ignite invites you to explore the latest innovations in fire behaviour, and to meet the people shaping the future of bushfire resilience.

Do not miss this chance to explore the intersection of cutting-edge research, immersive technology and real-world impact, right in the heart of Canberra!
