Conference Grants

The 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.

Mohad Nezhad and Steffen Berg from the InterPore Foundation report that, based on these criteria, at least 10 applicants were exempted from paying the registration fee for in-person participation and received travel cost support up to 500 EUR, and six applicants were exempted from paying the registration fee for on-line participation, which was all funded by generous donations from InterPore members
