The Honors and Awards Committee acts in the spirit of the InterPore mission to advance and disseminate knowledge for the understanding, description, and modelling of natural and industrial porous media. Linking academia and industry, it aims to identify and honor outstanding members of the porous media community who have made extraordinary contribution to porous media research at different stages of their careers.

The Honors and Awards Committee is responsible for the selection of the best candidates from among nominees for several of  InterPore Society awards (InterPore Lifetime Achievement Medal, InterPore Award for Porous Media Research, InterPore Medal for Porous Media Research, and the InterPore PoreLab Award for Young Researchers) following strict guidelines and a transparent and fair procedure.
