The Institute of Corrosion and the British Institute of NDT have been in regular discussions over the past two years, to see if any opportunities were available for closer working and collaboration. Initially, informal President-to-President discussions were held in 2007–2008 where possible collaborative initiatives in, for example, joint meetings, seminars and joint promotion of activities were discussed. From these preliminary meetings it became clear that substantial synergies existed between the two organisations.
Subsequently, after presentations to respective Councils in 2008/09, permission was obtained for the development of Policy Group meetings between senior representatives from both Institutes. The first series of these meetings has now been completed and has concluded that there are indeed good synergies and significant areas of cooperation between our organisations. Thus, whilst remaining as two independent Institutions, we believe we should take the opportunity to work together, to promote and to generally benefit from the best practise of each Institute.
The first definitive action arising from our discussions is to create, for each Institute, a Directory of the Products and Services that we provide to our individual members and other stakeholders. This will then provide a clear basis for identifying, explicitly, areas for cooperation, co-promotion, and co-production or to simply identify best practise and, hence, to benefit from the expertise that resides in both organisations.
Members will be kept informed of further progress.
