About IMRP

Where the business and science of irradiation connect

The International Meeting on Radiation Processing (IMRP) is recognised as the leading international event for those involved in the applications, science and technology of radiation processing. It is where the business and science of irradiation come together to discuss recent advances, current trends as well as the issues and opportunities that impact the commercial use of ionizing radiation. The IMRP program is always topical and includes regional, technology and application updates from industry leaders.

The IMRP exhibition, side events and technical tours are great opportunities to learn and to meet industry colleagues. The iia understands the importance of networking and has revised the overall format of the event, putting the exhibition space at its core.

IMRP is organised every 2-3 years on a different continent by the International Irradiation Association (iia). The first IMRP meeting was held in Puerto Rico in 1976.
