Y-WCCO – Young Digital World Corrosion Congress.

A global e-Congress where young researchers and early-career professionals aged 35 and under share their ideas, present their research, build international networks and develop solutions for a sustainable future.
Because the world's greatest challenges cannot be solved by one country, one discipline or one institution alone.

They require a generation that thinks globally, collaborates globally and acts together.

One Generation. One World. Shared Challenges.

The congress provides young people with an international platform to:

• present their research,
• exchange new ideas,
• build international networks,
• meet other young scientists and engineers,
• interact with leading corrosion experts,
• connect with industry and potential employers, and
• become part of the global corrosion community.

The fully digital format makes worldwide participation possible independent of geographical location and travel budgets.

Who Should Participate?

Y-WCCO particularly welcomes:

• Master students
• PhD students
• Postdoctoral researchers
• Early-career scientists
• Young engineers
• Young professionals

Industry representatives are also highly welcome, particularly those interested in meeting and recruiting young corrosion scientists and engineers.

Participation by industry representatives is possible without submitting a scientific contribution.

Young. Global. Digital. Connected.

The first Y-WCCO will take place over three days and culminate on 24 April – World Corrosion Awareness Day.

On this special day, the research, ideas and vision of the next generation will become part of the worldwide effort to raise awareness of the importance of corrosion prevention and control.

The Future of Corrosion Science and Engineering Starts Here

The Young World Corrosion Congress – Y-WCCO is a global digital congress created for the next generation of corrosion scientists, engineers and professionals.

Y-WCCO brings together Master students, PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, young scientists, engineers and young professionals from universities, research institutes and industry around the world.

Your Research. Your Ideas. Your Network. Your Future.
