Protective coatings for aviation industry - innovative barrier against high-temperature corrosion | 28-29 May 2025, Krakow, Rzeszów (ENG)

Protective coatings for aviation industry - innovative barrier against high-temperature corrosion - is an event organized within the framework of the ongoing project Novel Thermal Barrier Coatings with Polymer-Derived Ceramic interlayers for jet engine critical components (PDC-TBC) by the Silesian Aviation Cluster, AGH University of Krakow and the Rzeszow University of Technology within the framework of the CORNET (COllective Research NETworking).

More about the PDC-TBC CORNET project

The two-days event will be held in two cities that are so strongly associated with broadly defined aviation: Krakow and Rzeszow on the premises of both universities involved in the CORNET project:

- DAY I – 28th May 2025. - AGH University of Krakow, address: al Mickiewicza 30, Krakow

- DAY II – 29th May 2025r. - Rzeszow University of Technology,  ul. Wincentego Pola 2, Rzeszów

Apply for participation in the event by sending an email to: gabriela.ryczek@aerosilesia.eu  with the name of the city Krakow and/or Rzeszow.
