The new conference will serve as a complement to the established IIAR Annual Natural Refrigeration Conference & Expo in the USA and the IIR's biennial Gustav Lorentzen Conference on Natural Refrigerants, which is held in various global locations. Both events will continue independently, but the Madrid conference will combine their unique strengths into a unified global platform.
This event aims to fill a critical need in the natural refrigerants sector, providing a forum where industry professionals, researchers, and academics can collaborate and exchange ideas. It will feature:
By hosting the event every two years in different IIR member countries, the organizers aim to provide a recurring platform for international collaboration and technological advancement.
The organizers are seeking input from the refrigeration community to shape the event and ensure it meets the industry's needs. A survey has been launched to gather feedback, with participants encouraged to share their insights on topics of interest and event priorities.
“This joint initiative is an exciting opportunity to create a truly global platform where science, industry, and innovation converge to advance natural refrigerant-based technologies,” the organizers stated.
For more information and to provide feedback, stakeholders are invited to complete the online survey.
