InterPore2020: Conference grant program

Let’s make it possible for deserving researchers to participate in InterPore2020!

We are pleased to announce that InterPore Foundation for Porous Media Science and Technology (InterPore Foundation) would once again like to offer a limited number of conference grants to students, as well as to scientists from academic institutions in countries with lower- or middle-income economies, as defined by the World Bank.

At InterPore2019, ten participants were offered a grant which covered their registration fee. Unfortunately, due to a lack of funds for travel expenses, only seven of those recipients were able to attend the conference. We have realized that for students and scientists from countries with lower- or middle-income economies, providing the registration is simply not enough. In addition to paying the registration fees for those participants, the InterPore Foundation would like to provide up to €500 per recipient from those selected countries to go towards travel costs. However, the necessary funding for providing these grants is currently beyond our financial possibilities. That is why this year we are calling on your support!  Your generous support will help students and scientists, who would not otherwise be able to attend InterPore2020, gain experience and exposure and build their scientific network at an international conference. The number of grants we can provide is dependent on the donations of people like you!

Receiving a conference grant from InterPore Foundation made attending InterPore2019 possible for me. Participating at this year’s conference helped to strengthen my research, grow both my friendship and scientific networks, and engage with pioneers of porous media. Such a nice socio-scientific experience would not have been possible without this grant. – Nasrollah Sepehrnia, 2019 InterPore Foundation Conference Grant Recipient
