Research in Progress—Introduction The NACE International Research Committee currently organizes and sponsors activities that strengthen a closer link between research and practical aspects of corrosion mitigation. These activities focus on the following areas: Student Development, Research in Progress (RIP), and Research Topical Symposium. The first two areas have been well recognized over the years, particularly by the research community. They mirror the vital early development of both people and the ideas so necessary for advancement of the field of corrosion.

Research in Progress Symposium Sponsored by the NACE Research Committee, the Research in Progress Symposium provides a forum for the presentation of information and ideas derived from current or recently completed basic research on select topics as well as opportunities for discussion of these presentations. Three sessions will be held and will include invited and contributed presentations. Following the December close of the Call for Papers, additional titles will be posted.

Passivity and Localized Corrosion Session Chair: Douglas Hansen, University of
Dayton Research Institute Participants in this session will present recent research in passivity and localized corrosion in all forms (including mechanisms of passivation, breakdown, pitting, crevice corrosion, intergranular attack, and any applications thereof). Contributions highlighting alloys and treatments to improve passivity and resistance to localized corrosion as well as papers describing novel and innovative approaches for studying these areas may also be presented.

Green Technologies for Corrosion Mitigation Session
Chair: Gerald Frankel, Ohio State University Participants in this session will present information related to approaches for corrosion control that are environment-friendly, including low toxicity, low volatility, and biodegradable methods. Areas include scale and corrosion inhibitors, paints, conversion coatings, water treatment, rebar in concrete, microbiologically influenced corrosion, and welding, with a focus on chemistry, mechanism of action, or application.

Technical Basis for Long-Term Storage Session
Co-Chair: Doug Wall, Sandia National Laboratories, and Fraser King,
The safe, long-term storage and disposal of nuclear materials is a significant concern. Research in progress involving recent advances in the technical basis for long-term storage and disposal of nuclear waste will be presented. Pending the conclusion of the Call for Papers, information may be presented on various aspects of the modeling and testing of materials for long-term storage and disposal, including experimental studies of all forms of corrosion of active and passive container materials and novel techniques for taking into account variability and uncertainty and appropriate levels of conservatism in lifetime predictions.
