Working Groups

 

About IIR Working Groups

 

IIR Working Groups (WG) operate on a temporary basis to bring together specialists to work on projects arising from current refrigeration issues. Their aim is to promote development, provide knowledge and give recommendations in these spheres. In order to achieve these objectives, they hold conferences and workshops, write publications and provide recommendations.

 

Members of Working Groups are experts, professionals, engineers and/or technicians from industry, university, and research-centre settings in the field of refrigeration.
