International conference – call for papers

9164310_lUK: Following the announcement that the UK will again host the International Institute of Refrigeration’s conference on sustainability and the cold chain, the organisers have issued a call for papers. 

As the title suggests, the conference organisers are initially looking for 500 word abstracts of papers on new developments, key technological trends and environmental issues in the cold chain. 

This major conference takes place at St Marys University College, Twickenham, London from June 23-25, 2014. It marks a return to the UK for this conference which was first held in Cambridge in March 2010. It will again be hosted by the UK’s Institute of Refrigeration. 

The conference is expected to attract over 100 delegates and over 60 technical papers. Discounts for authors on the registration fee for the three day event are available. The organisers would particularly welcome applications for papers to be presented which showcase international and UK innovation in the cold chain, and practical case studies of how sustainable refrigeration technology is being introduced. 

Full details of the call for papers and guidelines for authors are available at www.iccc2014.com. Abstracts of no more than 500 words should be submitted to lisa@ior.org.uk by November 1.
