Michael Schütze, born in 1952, studied materials sciences at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg from 1972 to 1978, then joined the Karl Winnacker Institute of the DECHEMA as a research associate. He received his doctorate in engineering sciences from the RWTH (Technical University) in Aachen in 1983, completed his habilitation in 1991, becoming a member of the external teaching staff of the RWTH. Since 1998, he holds a professorship there. He was appointed director of the Karl Winnacker Institute in 1996 and Chairman of the executive board of DECHEMA Forschungsinstitut in 2012. He is recipient of the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Prize, the Rahmel-Schwenk medal, the Otto-von-Guericke Prize, the Cavallaro medal, the U.R. Evans Award, the Khwarizmi Award and the UNIDO Award, past Chairman of the Gordon Conference on Corrosion, editor of the journal Materials and Corrosion, Past-President of the European Federation of Corrosion, Past-President of the World Corrosion Organization and Chairman of the Working Party Corrosion by Hot Gases and Combustion Products of the European Federation of Corrosion.Marcel Roche, born in 1945, received his diplomas in Chemical Engineering from the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées of Lyon in 1967 and in Refining and Chemical Engineering from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure du Pétrole et des Moteurs in 1968. He worked as a corrosion engineer for the Institut Français de Pétrole and Technip Engineering from 1970 to 1979, when he moved to the Corrosion Department of Elf Aquitaine. He spent the remainder of his career in the field of Corrosion, Inspection and Materials in this Group which became TotalFinaElf and finally Total. He retired in June 2008 and became a corrosion consultant. Since July 2011, he is President of CEFRACOR, the French Corrosion Society, and of its department Conseil Français de la Protection Cathodique. He is a member of the Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee of the European Federation of Corrosion and a member of
