Saying Goodbye to IMRP 2024
IMRP 2024, held 4 – 8 November 2024 in Costa Rica, marked another successful International Meeting on Radiation Processing. It was an outstanding forum for sharing knowledge, learning from one another, and networking with friends and colleagues. Thank you to all the presenters, panellists, sponsors, exhibitors and other contributors for their part in making this event so successful. Thank you also to everyone who attended for making the journey to wonderful Costa Rica. Pura Vida!
Work has already started to bring you the next IMRP: Germany, Spring 2027!
Highlighting Sustainability
The iia was proud to make ‘Sustainability’ a key theme of IMRP 2024 and for being awarded Blue Flag Sustainability Certification as a result of the measures taken to reduce the environmental impact of this event. Thank you to those who shared details of their approach to sustainability, and their activities aimed at enhancing the sustainability of irradiation technologies, medical device manufacturing and other operating practices.
The iia hosted a side event at the IAEA Ministerial Conference soon after IMRP 2024 that highlighted how sustainable practices had been adopted by the radiation processing industry. The iia will continue to focus on sustainability during 2025 and beyond.
