Student posters

AMPP is looking for student individuals with great coatings and corrosion ideas that they want to share with the community. Awards will be given for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. 

The Student Poster Session at the AMPP LatinCORR + Panamerican Corrosion Conference encourages students to become active in AMPP and present the results of their work to membership. Each student who wishes to participate must submit a 200-word abstract. Please remember that student attendance at the conference is required to participate. While a poster can have multiple co-authors, there can only be one student presenter. Student posters are typically judged by AMPP Fellows, industry professionals, academia/research experts and Government professionals. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to expand your network and gain some visibility in the corrosion community.
