Fáilte go Baile Átha Cliath chuig comhdháil EUROCORR 2026!

Welcome to Dublin for the EUROCORR 2026 conference!

Prof Gareth Hinds,
EUROCORR 2026 Chair

As a native of the city, I’m delighted and honoured to have the opportunity to showcase everything Dublin has to offer – history, art, theatre, literature, music, dancing, and of course that unique Irish pub culture! You’ll be made to feel relaxed and at home wherever you go.

Practically every aspect of corrosion science and technology is covered at the conference so there’ll be something for everyone. We couldn’t ask for better surroundings than the Dublin Convention Centre, a world-class conference venue on the banks of the River Liffey, just a short walk from the geographical centre of the city.

I’m excited to let you know that the conference dinner will be held in the Guinness Storehouse, a seven-floor interactive experience featuring a rooftop bar with a panoramic view of the city and Dublin Bay. So Ireland’s most popular tourist attraction, with 1.65 million visitors per year, will be filled entirely with corrosionists for one night! Here you’ll discover over 250 years of brewing history at St. James’s Gate, learn how to pour the perfect pint, have your photo printed in malt on the top of a pint of Guinness, and enjoy some traditional Irish music. It promises to be an unforgettable evening so make sure you secure your ticket if you haven’t already!

We hope you’ll also take the time during your visit to explore some of the breathtaking tourist attractions Ireland has to offer. Perched on the western seaboard of Europe and heavily sculpted by glaciers during the last Ice Age, the Emerald Isle boasts some truly spectacular scenery, cloaked in its famous forty shades of green. I can personally recommend the Cliffs of Moher, the Giant’s Causeway, the Ring of Kerry, Blarney Castle, Newgrange and Glendalough, and there are many more!

I’d like to thank Melanie and Sorcha from the IOM3 Events team for their excellent work on the logistics of the conference, together with Andrea, Jacqueline and Roman at DECHEMA, the IOM3 Sales team, the leadership teams at the Institute of Corrosion and IOM3, the members of the International Scientific Committee, led by Stefan, and the Local Organising Committee. Hopefully you’ll see the fruits of their labours at the conference!
