The kickoff meeting of the Spanish InterPore Chapter was held at the Institute of Environmental Assessment and Water Research (IDAEA-CSIC) in Barcelona on January 28, 2020 wit the participation of 30 researchers from academia and industry. The meeting was sponsored by the IDAEA, and through the Severo-Ochoa program of excellence.

The meeting established the Spanish InterPore Chapter as a platform for interdisciplinary porous media research, and exchange between academia and industry in Spain. A scientific meeting consisting of 4 different sessions preceded the round table discussion and formation of the steering committee.

The meeting was opened by the director of IDAEA-CSIC, Teresa Moreno. After this, Marco Dentz (IDAEA-CSIC) gave a short introduction on the steps leading up to this meeting, before Michel Quintard (IMFT Toulouse, InterPore) gave a presentation on the InterPore Society and the role of the national chapters.

The opening session was followed by a keynote lecture of Michel Quintard. The scientific program was organized in 4 blocks on (i) Hydrogeology, (ii) Geotechnics and Geoenergy, (iii) Geoenergy and Geological Storage, (iv) Industrial Porous Media, with a total of 8 talks of 30 minutes each. The detailed program is attached below.

The meeting was concluded with a round table discussion on the future of the chapter, and the formation of the Steering and Advisory Committees.
