On November 29, VIPCOAT project was presented at the 55th ECCA Autumn Congress of European Coil Coating Association (ECCA).
Natalia Konchakova and Peter Klein were invited to provide the project objectives to the most important stakeholders of the project – coating industry.
The lecture on Modelling Supported Design of Active Protective Coatings provided main ideas of VIPCOAT project and had an excellent feedback from the audience. We built new contacts with coating producers and paint suppliers, and collected additional ideas for the project development.
