CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES

Technical TourThe ICCC conference has been held 7 times since 2010,
in the UK, France, New Zealand and China. It has beenrecognised as a medium-sized biennial international
conference to exchange the latest information about thecutting-edge research results on the cold chain andsustainability.
To establish a truly sustainable cold chain, it is necessary
to activate discussion on global food supply chain toachieve energy conservation, GHG reduction, eliminationof food loss and waste, guarantee of food safety andquality.
ICCC2024, to be held in Tokyo, will be a good opportunity
to bring together researchers and industrialists from all
fields of refrigeration to discuss how to promotesustainability on the cold chain.

Technical tours to cold chain-related facilities will beoffered on 12th of June 2024. Details will be announced
as soon as they are determined.

VENUE
The conference will be held at Masaru Ibuka Auditorium(International Conference Center), Waseda University,Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan.
