Our aims
- to facilitate collaboration among industrial and academic researchers
- to bring together porous media theoreticians, modellers, and experimentalists from academia and industry
- to provide a forum for exchanging ideas and expertise for the improvement of porous media models
- to identify research questions that will lead to major improvements in the theories and models of complex porous media and to define modelling challenges
- to play a role in setting up strategic research priorities of major funding agencies on national and European levels
- to identify sources of funding for collaborative research among partners and facilitate the establishment of collaborative research projects
- to facilitate training and education
Scope of Activities
- Setting up and maintaining a website (with partially restricted access) where news, lists, and documents can be shared among members of the Society as well as the general porous media community
- Maintaining a Member‘s forum for questions and discussions on the website
- Organizing an annual conference on porous media as well as annual business meeting
- Setting up focus groups and organizing workshops focusing on specific research questions
- Preparing and distributing a newsletter on a regular basis
- Identifying and honoring members of porous media community who have made extraordinary contribution to the field
- Coordinating the preparation of documents (with the aid of a task force or committee) containing critical evaluations of current modelling practices of complex porous media as well as recommendations of modelling approaches appropriate for certain media
- Coordinating the preparation of short scientific documents outlining major gaps in our knowledge of complex porous media and sending these documents to national and European research centres and funding agencies
- Coordinating the study of major experimental methods for the characterization of material properties relevant to various complex porous media
- Facilitating contacts among scientists from industry and universities by maintaining a list of researchers and their expertise
- Maintaining a list of MSc- and PhD-level research subjects and facilitating contact among industrial researchers willing to host MSc and PhD students and the universities
- Organizing short-term exchange programs for staff members from industrial and academic partners
