The 46th Corrosion Science Symposium will be held in Manchester from the 13th to the 15th September

Following the success of the past years, everybody expects it to be a very interesting event for the corrosion community in the UK, with the topics discussed this year ranging from Modelling of Material Performance to Intelligent Coatings.

Discussing corrosion problems and new concepts with students and professionals in the industry in a very relaxed atmosphere has always been the vault key of the success of CSS! The Young ICorr committee hopes to see young corrosion secientists join in the event!

The success Of the 45th CSS held at Sheffield Hallum University in September 2004 was evident. The conference itself went very well; everyone had a very interesting and enjoyable time, with many student papers and poster presentations of extremely high standards.

We would also like to congratulate this year’s winner of the Shreir Young Speaker Prize; Christopher Wylie from the University of Birmingham UK. In addition to the winner of the poster prize; Vincenza Marzocchi from the “Universita’ degli Studi di Napoli Federico II”, Italy.

Also we would lie to draw attention to the 16th International Corrosion Congress to be held in Beijing, China. It is a good opportunity for corrosion students to attend an international conference, since it covers a large array of topics and has a good social program.

The Young ICorr Column is now open to all its members to submit articles they feel might be interesting to other members as well as to enhance communication amongst the corrosion community
The articles can be

• A profile of the members explaining publications, any experience they have studies/ career path or any personal feeling as a "corrosionist"

• A scientific report based on member's own research, studies of impact of corrosion science/ engineering to the world,

• A report of any interesting conference/ meeting that you would recommend others to attend in the future.

• Information about a particular world wide website of which you think one can get useful information from and a short description of the mentioned site.

Articles submitted should be in electronic form of text or MS word format, images can be included; in this case please send a jpeg format file of your images along with the articie.
