The AkzoNobel Laboratory of Corrosion Protection at The University of Manchester is the result of a five-year landmark strategic partnership between the largest global coatings company and one of the UK’s top universities.
The University of Manchester (UoM) is home to the world's largest academic unit dedicated to the study of corrosion. Its partnership with AkzoNobel commenced in April 2012, to allow for vital work to be undertaken to help tackle the annual $3 trillion global annual cost of corrosion, accounting for over 3% of the world’s GDP.
