Industry Initiaves
Our Industry Initiatives operate in conjunction with the iia, but function as separate entities focused on specific areas of interest to the irradiation industry. These initiatives are either wholly or partially managed by the iia, with aims to support the irradiation industry and scientific community through communication, education and advocacy.
International Meeting on Radiation Processing (IMRP)
The 21st International Meeting on Radiation Processing (IMRP 2024) is taking place 4-8 November 2024 in Costa Rica, with the conference theme ‘Irradiation Technologies – Available, Sustainable and Growing’. The exhibition space will be at the core of the conference, offering a dynamic environment that will host plenary presentations, technical theatres, posters, networking opportunities and more, making it a valuable opportunity to engage with all members of the irradiation community.
