28 - 30 August 2024	EFC Summer school - CORROSION IN GREEN ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES Paris, France Event Corrosion directly and indirectly impacts all societal infrastructures, including energy production. Energy transition challenges in terms of increased utilization and the drive for sustainability and reduced ecological impact requires development and longer service of green energy technologies. Understanding and managing the role of materials and systems degradation and material selection in green energy industries, environment, and society, becomes an even more urgent topic for the next generation of corrosion experts and industry professionals. This school is a great opportunity for graduate students and post-docs from both, renewable energy technology and corrosion science, for further specialized training interfacing the principles of green energy technologies and corrosion science approaches. Registration will open end of January. There are only 25 seats available. More information available soon.
