The IIR International Congress of Refrigeration in Seoul is a globally recognised conference and exhibition in the refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump sectors, organised by the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR) — the world’s leading intergovernmental organisation dedicated to advancing refrigeration science and technology. Established more than a century ago, the International Congress of Refrigeration (ICR) convenes industry professionals, researchers, academics, engineers and policymakers to share knowledge, present research and discuss emerging trends in refrigeration and related technologies.
At the heart of the congress is a comprehensive programme featuring technical sessions, keynote presentations, workshops and panel discussions that address a broad range of topics including advanced refrigeration systems, air conditioning, heat pumps, cryogenics, refrigerants, thermal management, building energy and sustainability challenges. Participants gain insight into cutting-edge innovations, sustainable design practices and strategies for improving energy efficiency across the cold chain and built environment.
The event serves as an important forum for global knowledge exchange, bringing together leading experts and decision-makers to foster collaboration and highlight research that drives innovation in climate-control and refrigeration technologies. With delegates from around the world, the congress supports the dissemination of best practices, new findings and solutions that have practical impacts across commercial, industrial and residential applications.
Situated in Seoul, the congress benefits from South Korea’s strong engineering ecosystem and commitment to sustainable technologies, making it an ideal setting for advancing dialogue on energy-efficient cooling and refrigeration solutions. Attendees include scientists, engineers, manufacturers, consultants, government representatives and educators, all seeking to shape the future of refrigeration technology in an era of environmental challenge and opportunity.
Whether you are a researcher presenting a paper, a practitioner exploring new technologies, or a policymaker seeking insights on best practices, the IIR International Congress of Refrigeration in Seoul offers a premier platform for discovery, learning and collaboration in the global refrigeration community.
