EFC Young Scientist Grant

The EFC Young Scientist Grant (formerly EUROCORR Young Scientist Grant) is an award founded and presented by the EFC since 2016. Its objective is to stimulate interaction and collaboration within the international corrosion community, by providing financial support to junior corrosionists to enable them to visit and interact with other corrosionists at their home institute abroad and to discuss research issues of mutual concern relevant to the field.

Corrosion Awareness Day 2025

online

The World Corrosion Organization (WCO) has designated the 24th of April as “Corrosion Awareness Day”.

The YEFC encourages you to join our sixth edition and organize outreach activities, such as photo competition, lectures, workshops, visits … to spread awareness of corrosion in our societies and industries

The YEFC also supports the WCO, AMPP and EFC in a campaign of social media posts “corrosion around the clock” to raise corrosion awareness. 

Follow it on social media: #CorrosionAroundTheClock #WCAD 

So mark April 24th in your calendar, organize or simply join an activity, and let's work together towards raising awareness about corrosion!
