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 22nd International Meeting on Radiation Processing (IMRP 2027) will be held 12 - 16 April 2027 in Düsseldorf, Germany, with the conference theme ‘A New Age for Irradiation’. The conference will feature presentations about the business, applications, innovative technologies, and environment of irradiation. The poster sessions will bring a focus to important and cutting edge research and science, and interactive forums will share current thinking on a wide range of radiation processing topics.

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.
