About QIRT

History and Objectives of the Conference

The QIRT Conference

Quantitative Infrared Thermography (QIRT) conference is a biannual international conference, in which Infrared Thermography (IRT) specialists from industry and academia discuss and present their current interests and novel developments.

Since 1992, QIRT conferences have been held in Paris (1992), Sorrento (1994), Stuttgart (1996), Lodz (1998), Reims (2000), Dubrovnik (2002), Brussels (2004), Padova (2006), Krakow (2008), Québec City (2010), Naples (2012), Bordeaux (2014), Gdansk (2016), Berlin (2018), Porto (2020), Paris (2022), Zagreb (2024), and Naples (2026).

QIRT Asia

Since 2015, due to the growing QIRT community, a sister conference series, **QIRT-Asia**, was established.

  • 2015: Chennai, India
  • 2017: Daejeon, Korea
  • 2019: Tokyo, Japan
  • 2023: Abu Dhabi, U.A.E.
  • 2025: Harbin, China

The 6th Asian Quantitative Infrared Thermography Conference (**QIRT Asia 2027**) will be held in **Singapore**, continuing this tradition of scientific excellence in the region.
