ICorr and CSCP Forge Partnership with MoU Signing in Xi’an China
In a significant step toward advancing global collaboration in corrosion science and engineering, the Institute of Corrosion (ICorr) and the Chinese Society for Corrosion
Protection (CSCP) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during the 22nd International Corrosion Congress held in Xi’an, China.
The agreement was formalised by then ICorr President Stephen Tate and Vice President Dr. Yunnan Gao, alongside CSCP counterparts President Professor Xiaogang Li and General Secretary Professor Xuequn Cheng, in a ceremonial signing event attended by industry and academic leaders and corrosion experts on 23rd October 2024.
This agreement marked the culmination of 12 months of dialogue and numerous rounds of collaborative discussions between ICorr and CSCP. Both organisations demonstrated unwavering commitment to fostering a global partnership that supports the advancement of corrosion science and engineering.
The MoU reflects the mutual efforts of ICorr and CSCP to create a framework for collaboration, facilitating knowledge exchange, joint activities, and professional development initiatives. The agreement was achieved through great determination and shared aspirations, emphasising the importance of addressing corrosion challenges on a global scale.
By leveraging their combined expertise, the two societies aim to enhance their contributions to the international corrosion community.
This milestone agreement sets the stage for a robust and dynamic partnership between ICorr and CSCP. It paves the way for collaborative activities, workshops, and technological advancements that address pressing industry needs. The signing of the MoU represents not just a formal agreement but also a shared vision for the future of sustainable corrosion solutions and innovation across borders.
Our successful interaction has indeed already commenced with our Joint CSCP/ICorr Webinar series held between 11th and 25th November 2024, attracting over 500 registrants and this will be reported in our Jan-Feb issue of Corrosion Management Journal.
