Abstract
The 19th International Corrosion Congress (ICC) was held at the International Convention Centre in Jeju Island, Korea. The convention centre consists of a large elliptical fully glass-wall structure, located four floors above ground and is set on a cliff on the edge of Pacific Ocean, creating a spectacular atmosphere for the 19th ICC. Jeju itself was created by volcanic activity and has a high scenic and geological value. With its outstanding aesthetic beauty, unique volcanic features and ecosystem, UNESCO designated ‘Jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tubes’ as the first World Natural Heritage sites in Korea in 2007. Owing to the Island's warm climate, several natural attractions and the very popular Jeju Loveland sculpture park, Jeju Island has become Korea's most prestigious tourist destination as well as the top honeymoon spot for Korean couples. The congress was organised and hosted by the Corrosion Science Society of Korea (CSSK) on behalf of International Corrosion Council (www.icc-net.org). The congress was also sponsored and funded by several Korean companies and by the Korean Government.
