About MIC Summer School Budapest

MIC Summer School will be held between August 26-30 (Monday-Friday), 2024 in Budapest. The course aims to give a general overview of how MIC can develop and what kinds of evidence are needed to conclude the corrosion is influenced by microorganism. Also, to provide practical help on how to integrate data (e.g. microbial, metallurgical, chemical, etc.) from multiple origins during MIC investigations. 

Registration is open:

Learning goals of the course: 

•         Know the basic MIC mechanisms and microorganisms involved

•         Be familiar with the chemical, metallurgical and microbiological test methods used for corrosion investigation and MIC laboratory experiments

•         Understand sampling strategies and procedures for various sample types obtained in Engineered Systems

•         Be able to apply Corrosion Management principles to assessing, mitigating and monitoring the corrosion threat of MIC

•         Be able to plan and execute a failure analysis investigation to differentiate between biotic and abiotic corrosion mechanisms as the immediate cause.

•         Understand and apply the multiple line of evidence (MLOE) approach for diagnosing MIC.

•         Understand, correctly apply and interpret state of the art MIC diagnostic as well as mitigation methods and know how they are implemented in different industries

•         Be able to apply the latest Industry Guidelines and Standards on Corrosion Management and MIC of Engineered Systems
