"The InterPore2023 conference provided me a great opportunity to network with research scholars who are working in the same field within the InterPore community with a positive impact in my academic connections and scientific career. Thank you very much for the kind of continuous support from InterPore Foundation for Conference Grants and I am looking forward to InterPore2024 at Qingdao, China!"
Eduardo Abreu
“I never had the opportunity to attend an InterPore conference before Edinburgh 2023. I’m grateful to the InterPore grant program for that. Besides the chance to present my research to other researchers who work in the same field as mine, I learned a lot from the several presentations performed during the conference. Indeed, the most important was to shake hands with authors who are references to my research. Face-to-face gives anyone the possibility to create bonds and new scientific collaborations.”
Anderson Camargo Moreira Postdoctoral researcher from Brazil
“Some policies in my home country restrict researchers from attending international conferences and events using national public funds. However, the feedback and insights provided by our peers in international conferences such as Interpore are key to creating fruitful international collaborations. I want to thank the Interpore Foundation for providing a grant for me to attend Interpore online (2023). This support has positively impacted my career and opened up possibilities for collaboration with world-renowned experts.”
Rodrigo Salazar
“The InterPore2023 conference grant allowed me to participate for the first time in this very important meeting. It was a great opportunity for me to learn about cutting-edge research on Porous Media. In addition, I could share with the community the capabilities using X-ray tomography at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory to further advance studies in this research area. As part of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) committee, it was a pleasure to be present at the plenary lecture and lunch event that we organized for the conference and see the community engaging in such relevant topics. I am grateful for this opportunity, and I hope this initiative can continue supporting students and scientists around the world. I look forward to participating in future InterPore conferences.”
Talita Rosas Ferreira Research Scientist at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (Sirius)
"Receiving the conference grant for InterPore2023 was a pivotal moment in my academic journey. The diverse topics covered allowed me to delve deeply into porous media mechanisms, while the event's collaborative atmosphere enabled meaningful connections with colleagues from various universities. The grant not only enriched my academic understanding but also provided a platform for potential collaborations. Beyond the academic sphere, the chance to explore Edinburgh added a delightful dimension to the experience. I am sincerely grateful for the InterPore foundation's support, and I'm enthusiastic about contributing my testimony to the Conference Grants Donation drive. By sharing my positive experience, I hope to encourage others to support this crucial initiative and apply for the grant, ensuring that more students and scientists can benefit from the enriching opportunities provided by InterPore conferences."
Daniel Cartagena Pérez Student, MSc. in Geotechnical Engineering 
"I am grateful to receive The InterPore2023 conference grant, as a turning point in my research on the subject of industrial decarbonization. It was a great motivation and built a confidence anchor for me and my team to initiate more projects on this subject throughout the year, lead students of different disciplines to perform integrated research on the subject and conduct academic workshops. According to my personal experience, the InterPore event is not only a conference, it is a multi-disciplinary and diverse platform for experts and scientists in porous media to be heard and collaborate."
