Over recent years the Trust has supported higher education and research in fire safety engineering at a number of institutions including Queen Mary London, Bolton and Cranfield Universities and has contributed to establishing the BRE Centre for Fire Safety Engineering at the University of Edinburgh.

Sir Neville Simms (pictured holding the award), the chairman of Trust said “The BRE Trust is honoured to receive the Lamp of Knowledge Award from the Society of Fire Protection Engineers. In making this award the Board of Directors of the SFPE has recognised the substantial contribution the BRE Trust is making to increasing the opportunities for higher education and research in fire protection engineering”
