1st MC-WG Meeting European Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) Network

Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) is a phenomenon that is increasingly becoming a problem for the society. MIC describes the negative effects a material can experience due to the presence of microorganisms.

Researchers of the Spanish National Research Council Jose M. Palomo (Institute of Catalysis and Petrochemistry, ICP-CSIC), and Scott Mitchell (Institute of Nanoscience and Materials of Aragon, INMA CSIC-UNIZAR) organize this 1^st MC-WG Meeting as a part of COST-ACTION CA20130 – European Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) Network – New paths for science, sustainability and standards.

This COST Action will provide the interaction and communication, knowledge sharing, training of personnel and of researchers of different disciplines to deal with MIC by a transdisciplinary approach. This will bring Europe to a leading role in this process, bringing ideas on an equal level with other nations, considering the values which are important for Europe and attitudes (e.g. environmental protection) and representing greater protection for people, property and the environment.

The meeting will be held in Fuengirola, Málaga, on March 28 and 29 as a hybrid congress, therefore it can be followed online. The 29th any interested party could participate. Registration is free. You can register here.
