International Symposium on Corrosion & Protection, Busan, South Korea, April 2010
A delegation from the Institute of Corrosion, consisting of Dave Griffiths of ARL, Bob Cottis of Manchester University and ICorr President Paul Lambert, travelled to Busan, South Korea to take part in an international corrosion event jointly organised and funded by the Leading Industry Development Foundation for Dongnam Economic Region and the Pusan National University.
The event was organised following an earlier visit to the UK by representatives of a number of South Korean academic organisations from the Dongnam region where they met with Stuart Lyons of Manchester University, along with Dave and Paul to discuss opportunities for co-operation and, in particular, training opportunities in South Korea.
During the symposium meetings were held with representatives of several local organisations including Pusan National University, Dong-Eui University, the Korean Maritime University, the Korean Research Institute of Standards and Science and the Korean Gas Corporation. There was also high level representation of the Corrosion Science Society of Korea.
A visit was also organised to KIMS, the Korean Institute of Materials Science in Gyeongam, where their advanced research facilities were toured. Special thanks must go to Yeong-Do Park of Dong-Eui University who was a most effective liaison and thoughtful host.
Further discussions are planned regarding the possible introduction of ICorr Training courses to the region and there are plans for future co-operation between ICorr and its Korean counterpart, CSSK.
