Your Global Hub for Corrosion Conferences

These scientific and technical days on corrosion will allow us to present and discuss the missions, achievements and projects of CEFRACOR (activities of thematic commissions, training, certification and standardization).

The course provides advanced training in inspection techniques for steel and non-steel substrates, as well as specialized coatings and linings. It prepares coating inspectors to carry out and document both destructive and non-destructive inspections under the supervision of senior personnel. Key topics include coating types, surface preparation methods, specialized applications, inspection instruments, and cathodic protection.

This course trains professionals to identify, manage, and prevent hidden degradation beneath insulation systems across the refining, chemical, and maritime industries. It covers risk-based inspection, insulation selection, and protective coatings, and includes the certification exam to validate expertise for engineers, inspectors, contractors, and maintenance personnel.

The certification validates advanced theoretical and practical competence in cathodic protection, with a strong emphasis on data interpretation, troubleshooting, and basic system design for both galvanic and impressed-current installations. Aimed at experienced CP professionals with solid engineering and scientific backgrounds, it develops skills in polarization theory, identifying measurement errors, determining current distribution, performing advanced CP testing and interference investigations, and designing and installing simplified CP systems, including appropriate calculations and corrective actions.

This course addresses the economic impact of corrosion and the importance of understanding failure mechanisms in aggressive environments. Through lectures and case studies, participants learn to gather information, classify failures, conduct corrosion testing, and apply diagnostic procedures to analyze real-world industrial corrosion problems and prevent recurrence.

Comprehensive training in composition, properties, application, and manufacturing technologies of paints, varnishes, and inks. For recent Chemistry/Chemical Engineering graduates; includes application and company endorsement.

An advanced online course for professionals in oil and gas focusing on integrity and reliability of static equipment. Includes inspection planning, deterioration monitoring, fitness-for-service and risk analysis, and corrosion prevention aligned with international standards.

Designed for O&G professionals. Covers extraction processes, asset management, process safety, material fundamentals, damage mechanisms, and corrosion/integrity management for wells, facilities, and pipelines. Includes NDT techniques, monitoring and mitigation methods, and industry ethics.

An interactive workshop on physics-based modeling workflows for developing PFAS-free coatings within the BIO-SUSHY project. Designed for researchers and R&D specialists, it focuses on automated multiscale simulations, molecular descriptors, and practical applications for sustainable materials.

An annual conference focusing on innovation, best practices, and asset management in wastewater infrastructure. Key themes include resilience, digital twins, AI, extending asset life, and long-term strategic planning.

The course provides a structured introduction to corrosion principles and anticorrosion protection of materials. It covers corrosion costs and mechanisms, corrosive environments, and atmospheric corrosion assessment. Participants explore prevention techniques, surface preparation, conversion treatments, metallic and inorganic coatings, EN ISO 12944 application, organic coatings, and painting defects. Aimed at qualified professionals seeking deeper expertise in corrosion and materials protection.
