10 years in the service of science

Despite the crisis phenomena experienced by our science and industry in the last decade, at present there is a tendency for the recovery and rise of both industry and scientific, design and technological areas. This was largely due not only to the ability to survive under extreme economic conditions, but also to the ability to unite scientists, engineers and experienced specialists into a public organization - the Russian Federation Academy of Refrigeration, later transformed into the International Academy of Refrigeration. Established in 1993 by efforts of Leningrad and Moscow scientists it didn't allow refrigeration and cryogenic industry specialists to "scatter into secluded corners" and wait for their destiny.
Establishment of the Academy helped to bring together highly qualified scientists and specialists working in the refrigeration and related industries of the national economy.
The first years of the scientific and organizational activity of the Academy showed that the idea of its creation was absolutely correct. Scientists from near and far abroad "reached out" to it and it became international.
An important stage in the onward development of the Academy is the organization of its own journal "MAKh Bulletin" which celebrated its 5th anniversary in 2003. The possibility of operative information exchange about the results of interesting scientific, marketing, economic research, design and technological developments has appeared.
