Ukrainian branch of the International Academy of Refrigeration: unity of national and industry-wide interests

On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the International Academy of Refrigeration we would like to note the great work it has done to unite the efforts of specialists in the field of artificial cold from many countries around the world to solve the problems of energy, ecology, refrigeration engineering, agroindustry and transport. Now the Academy performs coordination functions by informing about new scientific problems and their solutions, organizing conferences for discussion of results of works of the IAC members. A lot of work is done by academicians and corresponding members of the Academy's national branches, who solve urgent problems of industrial regions under extremely difficult conditions, and in most cases with no budget financing.
