Surface Technologies 2006
NRC Workshops
7, 8, 14 and 21 November 2006
About the meetings

When and where?
Registration
Almost every industry uses
coatings and surface treatments to create affordable functional
surfaces, built dedicated devices, protect substrates, or modify their
behaviour. Surface and coating technologies are critical to many different
industrial sectors such as
aerospace, biomedical engineering, automobile, energy and materials processing.
The Surface Technologies 2006
workshops organized by the National Research Council Canada (NRC) will
provide a discussion forum for engineers, scientists and managers from
targeted industrial sectors and NRC researchers. Each workshop will
target a specific industrial sector: Aerospace in Montréal, Biomedical
in Boucherville, Transportation in London and Alternative Energy in
Vancouver. The workshops will include presentations by leaders
of the industry and NRC representatives as well as panel discussions on
key issues and opportunities to be addressed by surface technologies.
The objectives of the workshops are:
- Identify current and future surface technologies needs in four
key industrial sectors
- Inform industry about NRC research and development capabilities
- Identify strategic directions that will help the Canadian
industry in acquiring advanced surface technologies.
The National Research Council Canada (NRC) is the Government of
Canada's premier organization for research and development. Already
strongly involved in R&D activities in surface technologies, NRC aims at
identifying key directions for better addressing the emerging needs of
the Canadian industry.
The information exchanged during the workshops will serve as road
mapping information for planning future NRC activities in surface
technologies and stimulate interactions between surface technologies
users and service providers.
- Managers, engineers and researchers from OEMs and users of
surface technologies in the targeted industrial sectors
- Coatings and surface technologies service providers
- R&D and maintenance engineers
