IIR working groups
IIR working groups (WG) operate on a temporary basis to bring together specialists to collaborate on projects focused on current refrigeration issues.
Their aim is to promote development and provide knowledge in these spheres. In order to achieve these objectives, WGs organise conferences and workshops, write publications and provide recommendations.
Members of WGs are experts, professionals, engineers and/or technicians from industry, university and research-centres active in the field of refrigeration.
Members of IIR Working Groups must comply with the rules defined in the document “IIR Working Groups: Rules to ensure compliance with competition laws”.
