IIW 2023 Welded Art Book

Welcome Message As Acting President of the International Institute of Welding, it is my privilege to welcome you to our fourth IIW Digital Collection on Welded Art and for you to view some of the 2023 outcomes resulting from the very successful initiative launched at the IIW Annual Assembly in 2019 in Bratislava, Slovakia. The International Institute of Welding (IIW) was founded in 1948 by the welding institutes or societies of 13 countries that considered it crucial to make more rapid scientific and technical progress in welding possible on a global basis. Its membership today comprises welding organisations from 51 countries worldwide. IIW provides a unique cooperative and collaborative platform for experts, practitioners and policy makers in the welding and related industries to share not only technical information and innovation, but knowhow in all areas affecting a country’s ability to achieve sustainable development in a sustainable environment and fulfil their responsibilities in a cooperative and converging global community. We are proud that this IIW 2023 Digital Collection shows the excellent IIW ethos of cooperation and collaboration with 36 artists from 16 countries contributing to creating greater awareness of the importance of the relationship of the global welding industry to progressing the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Please enjoy and pass the Collection onto your friends and colleagues. Sorin Keller, IIW Acting President 2021-23 1 July, 2023
