Ghana & West Africa's Corrosion Research Institute

Advancing Corrosion Science,
Bridging Academia and Industry

The Centre for Corrosion Studies (C2S) is an independent, non-commercial corrosion science research institute and academic-industry convening body, co-founded by practising corrosion engineers in Ghana. We publish original research and build direct pathways connecting engineering graduates to the corrosion profession.

Our Vision

Africa's Premier Corrosion Research Hub

To serve as Africa's premier national hub for advanced corrosion research, materials science innovation, and academic-to-industry tech translation.

How We Work

Closing the Academia-Industry Gap

Research development grants, institutional endowments, and commissioned academic studies fund our free research, education, and open tools: the mission behind C2S.

Where We Stand

8 Research Areas. One Mission.

Founded 2026 by two corrosion engineers trained at KNUST. Ghana-based, Africa-focused: building the region's academic-industry bridge in corrosion science.

Our Mission

To build continental engineering capacity and bridge the critical gap between academic study and industrial application, by:

  • Advancing research across our designated research focus areas
  • Delivering guest lectures, curriculum input, and structured industry placement pipelines with technical universities
  • Publishing open technical briefs, research articles, and public webinars
  • Building corrosion engineering capacity across Ghana and West Africa
What We Do

Two Pillars, One Mission
