Since 1950 the member Associations of FATIPEC have organized more than 35 scientific and technical congresses. In 2012, the traditional “FATIPEC Congress” was continued with the now well-known name “ETCC – European Technical Coatings Congress".
After Aix-En-Provence in 2004, AFTPVA (French Association of Technicians of Paints, Varnishes, Printing Inks and Adhesives) in partnership with FATIPEC (Federation of Associations of Technicians for Industry of Paints in European Countries) is once again organizing the ETCC Congress.
This edition will take place from September 23 to 25, 2024, in the Palace of the Popes of Avignon.
During the 3-day Congress, there will be plenary presentations, 3 or 4 parallel sessions, poster presentations, and an exhibition. A seminar called "Summer School" with lectures dedicated especially for young scientists and students will be held on Sunday 22 September afternoon.
