InterPore2019: Conference grants awarded

InterPore Foundation for Porous Media Science and Technology (InterPore Foundation) recently put out a call for applications for conference grants for participants from academic institutions from countries with lower- or middle-income economies. It is important for students to gain experience and exposure and build up a scientific network by attending and presenting at international conferences. Also, given economic difficulties in some countries, we wish to help with making it possible for scientists from academic institutions in those countries to attend InterPore meetings.

Based on these criteria, from over 30 applications, an independently operating Conference Grants Committee has selected 3 student grants and 4 applications from lower income countries, funded by generous donations from InterPore members. The recipients will be exempted from paying the registration fee. Their fees will be covered by InterPore Foundation.
