We are aspiring corrosion scientists and engineers enrolled as PhD students in various institutes across mainland Europe. Not only do we have diverse educational and research backgrounds in natural sciences and engineering, but also come from across the globe. We come together in our pursuit through this Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions Innovative Training Network to understand corrosion at micro- and nano-scale for ensuring long-term durability of devices used in biomedical, energy and electronic applications.
