Scientific and technological cooperation takes place on a global scale.

Therefore, the European Federation of Corrosion not only cooperates intensively with its European and International Member Societies and but with a number of organisations and associations within and outside of Europe.

European Federation of Chemical Engineering (EFCE)

Worldwide Cooperation :

NACE International

An historic agreement on cooperation between EFC and NACE International was signed by both parties during the NACE Corrosion Conference in San Diego on 19th March 2003. The Cooperation Agreement confers a number of other important benefits on both partner organisations. For more information please click here
