(KorrosionsCentrumTM)
General: The course is intended for graduate students or researchers working in academic or industrial environments with an interest in materials science and engineering.
Aim and contents: Corrosion is a truly interdisciplinary science and the aim is to discuss the underlying chemistry and physics of the most important forms of metal corrosion. Mechanistic as well as applied aspects will be dealt with.
Lectures: The course includes lecture hours on three consecutive days prior to EUROCORR 2016. Most lecturers are part of KorrosionsCentrumTM (a collaboration between Swerea KIMAB and KTH) in Stockholm and most competent experts in their respective fields.

Course material: Selected chapters in "Corrosion Mechanisms in Theory and Practice", 33d edition, Ed. P. Marcus, CRS Press, Taylor & Francis Group, New York (2012). It is recommended, but not mandatory, to purchase the book in advance. In addition, lecture notes will be distributed by the lecturers.
Prerequisites: The participants are assumed to be graduate students at some university or researchers working in industry with a background in physics, chemistry or materials science. The introductory lecture covers necessary background information.
Course fee: (VAT 20% is included)
The course fees include coffee breaks, lunches and one social event.
Examination: An individual project task must be completed within each of the topics of the course, and under supervision of the corresponding lecturer. The total amount of work of all tasks should be of the order of four weeks and should be completed by Dec 31, 2016.
Location: The course will take place at the Congress Center of EUROCORR 2016: Le Corum, Esplanade Charles de Gaulle, 34 000 Montpellier.
Rooms: Barthez (course) and Rondelet (lunches).
Accommodation: Accommodation can be booked online via the EUROCORR 2016 Hotel Agency on the Accommodation page
