ssociazione Italiana di Metallurgia (AIM) organizes EUROCORR 2014, the annual event of the EFC-European Federation of Corrosion, which will be held in Pisa, Italy, from 8 - 12 September 2014. Scope of the Congress is to present the state-of-the-art in the fields of corrosion and protection of materials - the ones used in the past as well as those destined to modern industry - both from a technical-scientific as well as from a practical application perspective. The event is meant to foster collaboration, knowledge sharing, transfer of information and experiences among researches and operators in the fields of corrosion, and to enable common enrichment and benefit. The main theme of EUROCORR 2014 will be “Improving materials durability: From cultural heritage to industrial applications”. The Congress will be staged at the Palazzo dei Congressi, located a few steps away from the historical center of Pisa. The medieval Tuscan city - well known all over the world for its unique 14th century Leaning Tower - is a principal destination in Italy for international tourism and it is abundant in important artistic and architectural treasures and beautiful surroundings, it offers high quality accommodation at reasonable prices, without forgetting the rich flavours of Tuscany’s internationally renowned foods and wines.
