The International Institute of Refrigeration’s new portal has been online since July 11, 2011. Visitors from all over the world can now find international refrigeration information via an up-to-date and intuitive interface. The IIR has launched a high-quality portal with precise and selected content. To facilitate use, the address remains the same : www.iifiir.org.

The  portal presents on-line downloads of IIR articles and papers in the Fridoc database; full Expertise and Laboratory Directories enabling refined searches; a more comprehensive events section including archives of IIR events, a selection of refrigeration events and as in the past, an agenda of IIR events; e-mail alerts for all users of the portal and customizable alerts for members of the IIR.

Until October 2011, the IIR has opened up its Fridoc database to all visitors who register in order to use the portal. Everyone can consult the database and download quotas of digitized IIR articles and papers free of charge. In order to be able to download articles and papers free of charge following the trial offer during the launching period, users of the portal can become members of the IIR.
