ESIS NEWSLETTER - December 2024

• ESIS TC21 chair Emilio Martínez Pañeda organized Oxford-EPRI Workshop in Hydrogen Embrittlement, June 23-26, 2024, Oxford, UK ( LINK ), supported by ESIS TC21 Hydrogen embrittlement and transport. The workshop hosted 40 invited speakers, which gave extended talks. All ESIS TC21 chairs, including Milos B Djukic, Antonio Alvaro, Tom Depover, Emilio Martínez Pañeda, and Motomichi Koyama, were invited speakers. It was a real pleasure and honor to see friends and colleagues from the hydrogen embrittlement community and exchange thoughts about recent breakthroughs in understanding complex hydrogen embrittlement phenomena in metallic materials. The workshop was a major success.
