Industry Initiatives

The International Meeting on Radiation Processing (IMRP) is the premier event for all involved in the business and science of radiation processing. Organised by the iia every 2 - 3 years, it is where the business and science of irradiation come together to discuss recent advances and current trends, as well as the issues and opportunities that impact the commercial use of ionizing radiation.

The 21st International Meeting on Radiation Processing (IMRP 2024) was held 4 - 8 November 2024 in Costa Rica, with the conference theme ‘Irradiation Technologies – Available, Sustainable and Growing’. The conference offered a dynamic exhibition space, hosting plenary presentations, technical theatres, posters, networking opportunities and more, making it a valuable opportunity to engage with all members of the irradiation community.

The Phytosanitary Irradiation Platform was formed by iia to focus on the advancement of the commercialisation of phytosanitary irradiation globally. The objectives of PsIP are to facilitate cooperation between stakeholders, provide resources and promote structured dialogue and awareness of the technology.

The iia was a founding member of the Society for Sterility Assurance Professionals. SfSAP aims to enable the medical device and pharmaceutical industries to meet regulatory requirements by formulating a standard approach in defining and evaluating the competency of sterility assurance professionals.
