SOCORRO
Corrosion costs a huge amount: a DNV-GL report estimates the all-round corrosion costs for the European region alone at more than 500 billion EUR , overall +/- 3.8% of European GDP. The SOCORRO project therefore aims to provide companies with independent tools to assess the corrosion risks in their facilities, raise their awareness around the issue and help them take preventive measures.

Modeling long-term corrosion through examination of wrecks
Seas and oceans around the world are enormous reservoirs of cultural heritage, of such a nature that as a result they should be considered the world's largest museum. Researching the condition of these wrecks is important for three reasons. First, North Sea shipwrecks are of historical importance since they serve as a memorial and resting place for the many crews and soldiers who died defending their country.

Practice Lab Corrosion and Insulation
This project focuses on developing innovations for the prevention, detection and repair can corrosion in the Flanders-Netherlands border region. It includes the establishment of a test facility, the creation of a digital platform for knowledge sharing and the development of a curriculum for Corrosion and Insulation Technicians. The project is coordinated by Kic-MPI and financed within the Interreg V program.
