Welcome Message

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

On behalf of the Corrosion Science Society of Korea (CSSK), it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the International Conference on Innovative Materials Corrosion (ICIMC 2026), which will take place in Seoul Olympic Parktel, Korea, from November 3 to 7, 2026. This inaugural event marks an exciting milestone for CSSK as we open a new chapter in fostering global collaboration and innovation in corrosion science and engineering.

In recent years, advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data analytics have reshaped how we approach scientific challenges. Corrosion science is no exception, and ICIMC 2026 aims to provide a premier platform where researchers, engineers, and industry leaders can share insights, exchange knowledge, and explore solutions that merge traditional expertise with digital innovation.

Seoul, our host city, offers not only world-class conference facilities but also a vibrant cultural experience. We hope you will enjoy its unique blend of tradition and modernity – from K-Culture and K-Pop to Korean cuisine – as part of your conference journey.

I warmly invite you to join us in making ICIMC 2026 a memorable and meaningful gathering. I look forward to welcoming you to Seoul and sharing this exciting new beginning together.

With warm regards,



Han-Cheol Choe
Conference Chair, ICIMC 2026
President, Corrosion Science Society of Korea
