Next programme to run in 2018
Following on from the successes of the 2012-13 and 2014-15 young engineers programme, the Institute of Corrosion will be running the next programme in 2018, starting in January.
There will be lectures on the subjects related to Corrosion in Oil and Gas, including, basic corrosion, welding, materials, coatings, painting, fire protection and linings, cathodic protection, chemical treatments, plus presentation skills.
As before, the series of lectures will be followed by case studies, with a presentation to be given at an event around the London area.
We are currently carrying out pre-enrolment for this programme, and are looking for around 20 participants in the early stages of their career in the corrosion industry and who are looking for extra experience to set them up for their future.Â
The lectures will be sponsored by BP and held at the CB&I offices in Paddington, London. There is no cost for this course for the delegates, and we would like to thank the sponsor and host for allowing this.Â
If you are interested in this event please fill in the application form which can be obtained from, Institute of Corrosion, Barratt House, Kingsthorpe Road, Northampton, NN2 6EZ, or Email:- admin@icorr.org
The applications will be reviewed by the YEP sub-committee, and you will be notified if you are successful. Deadline for receipt of applications is 30th November 2017.
The President Writes – Sept / October Issue
Last month I had the pleasure of presenting the prestigious U.R. Evans award on behalf of the Institute of Corrosion.  The award this year was presented posthumously to Prof. Hugh Isaacs, a leading figure in the corrosion field and fellow of the Electrochemical Society.  The award was collected by Professor Mary Ryan who gave a very interesting lecture in recognition of his work. One of the things that this reminded me of was the wonderful community we work in. We are very fortunate to be part of the corrosion community, and work with the people we do, bringing to mind the importance of continuing these working relationships and friendships.
We need to keep our community vibrant and there are various initiatives within ICorr that we are hoping will help to facilitate this. For example, the Young ICorr group are planning an event in November which will be a lecture followed by networking, and I would encourage all ‘young’ members, and also some of your younger colleagues who are not currently members, to get involved.
I was also able to attend the Aberdeen Branch Corrosion Awareness Day, which was a very well attended event with almost 70 people attending, and I believe a report on this will be in the magazine. Thanks must go to the Aberdeen committee, and all the speakers, for giving up their time to make this such a successful event.
We will also be running our first “Fundamentals of Corrosion’ course in October – a new training programme aimed specifically at Engineers in the industry. Full details will be published on the ICorr website.
It has just been announced that this year’s AGM will be hosted by Midland Branch and initial details are given in Local Branch section.
Finally I would just like to remind members that their subscriptions for 2017/2018 were due in July.
