The aims of the 30th Annual Conference, is the continuation of successful series of the Egyptian Corrosion Society (ECS) Conferences that have been held every year around cities in Egypt. The Egycorr’2012 is aimed to bring together researchers and engineers to review and discuss advances in the development of methods and approaches on “Corrosion Mitigation and Surface Protection Technologies"; by bringing together the leading international experts in the field. Egycorr’2012 will promote experience exchange and provides a forum for researchers and engineers of the host nation to present their accomplishments and to develop new ideas at the highest level. The International Conferences have an important role to play in the technology transfer process, especially in terms of the relationships to be established between the participants and the informal exchange of ideas that this Egyptian Corrosion Society conference offers.
This 30th Annual Corrosion Conference “Egycorr2012” will links the worlds of academia, industry and government for an outstanding exchange of authoritative research, technical applications, and novel solutions in many industrial fields. Egycorr’2012 will focus in all aspects of Corrosion Mitigation, Surface Protection and Structural Integrity with the objective of improving the safety and protection of engineering structures, components and their associated materials. Through presentations of scientific research, plenary sessions, programmed as well as impromptu discussions, and an exhibition of today’s latest product and service solutions, researchers, scientists, engineers and academicians gain useful knowledge and valuable contacts to advance their work. The Egyptian Corrosion Society invites engineers, chemists and scientists from industry, research centres and universities to the 30th Annual Conference on: "International Conference on Corrosion Mitigation and Surface Protection Technologies" - The main objective of the conference will be the presentation and discussion of information generated by investigation and research studies into the causes and mitigation of corrosion and materials degradation.

The Culture of Egypt
has five thousand years of recorded history. Ancient Egypt was among the earliest civilizations. For millennia, Egypt maintained a strikingly complex and stable culture that influenced later cultures of Europe, the Middle East and Africa. After the Pharaonic era, Egypt itself came under the influence of Hellenism, for a time Christianity, and later, Arab and Islamic culture. Today, many aspects of Egypt's ancient culture exist in interaction with newer elements, including the influence of modern Western culture. The history of Egypt is one of the richest, oldest and most varied of any country in the world and the country’s place in the Middle East is as central now as it was in the fourth millennium BC. The unification of the Lower and the Upper Kingdoms, in about 3180 BC, marks a convenient starting point for Egyptian history. This dynamic, culturally sophisticated and powerful kingdom on the banks of the Nile grew into one of the greatest civilizations of the ancient world. The pre-Hellenic period is reckoned in Kingdoms (Old, Middle and New) and subdivided into dynasties. The 4th dynasty saw the construction of such architectural masterpieces as the Great Pyramid, while the 6th and 7th saw the zenith of Egyptian power at the start of the second millennium. Tutankhamun, whose famous tomb was discovered in 1922, ruled briefly during the 18th dynasty. From the 20th dynasty onwards, the power of Egypt was on the wane and the country was overrun on several occasions by foreign powers. The latest and most permanent of these invasions, which brought the Pharaonic period to an end, was that of Alexander the Great, in 332 BC. During the Hellenic and Augustan Roman period (circa AD 30), the emergence of law and literature in Alexandria allowed for seven centuries of comparative peace and economic stability. From the middle of the fourth century, Egypt became part of the Eastern Empire. Then, in AD 642, an invading Arab army – one manifestation of the rapid Islamic conquests – was welcomed by the Coptic Christians in preference to their previous Greek rulers. The Fatamids gained control of the country in the late 10th century, however, their power declined after a century or so. The subsequent revival of Muslim fortunes and the reawakening of the spirit of Jihad (holy war) was largely associated with the career of Saladin, whose control of Egypt enabled him to reunite much of the Muslim world.
