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. More information: https://efcweb.org/YSG.html Application is now open Submission deadline : February 15th |

EFC WP 21 webinar - Bridging the gap: corrosion science for heritage contexts online Conservators and conservation scientists often train as generalists due to the wide range of heritage objects, especially metals. Yet, preserving and restoring metals requires a fine knowledge of their decay processes in complex environments. This demands for strong collaboration between conservators and specialists like corrosion scientists. How can these connections be fostered, and why is there currently a gap between the professions? SPEAKERS PETER MEEHAN Join us to explore the interdisciplinary connections essential for advancing the preservation of metallic heritage artefacts! Register here |

CREATE CORRECT and YEFC Corrosion Summer School online The YEFC and CREATE CORRECT are happy to invite you to their Corrosion Summer School. It will be hold in person in Canada and online for the rest of the world, with common online activities during Canadian mornings and European afternoons. We will discuss the issues related to ethics and politics in corrosion science and engineering: - corrosion issues and management related to nuclear power plants - corrosion issues and monitoring in the oil and gas industry - corrosion considerations to advance preservation of cultural heritage - implications and perpectives of the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in the corrosion field
