InterPore Elections

InterPore Elections are coming up. With this page, we wish to inform the Society members about the details of the election procedure.

The InterPore elections are an important opportunity for members to help shape the future leadership and direction of our Society. We encourage all eligible members to take part in this year's election.

InterPore promotes diversity, equality and balance! The nominated candidates include persons from industry and academia, from different topics of porous media research, from different continents and cultures, different genders, different ages and so forth. It is the mission of InterPore to be a world-wide forum for porous media research across all involved topics, and we are committed to be a diverse, balanced and fair Society. The link between academia and industry is one of the important characteristics of InterPore. At this time, industry members are under-represented in the council, therefore, please consider voting for at least one candidate from the industry. When making your choices, please consider these aspects to support the mission of the Society!

Who will be elected?

One President-Elect, five Council members and three members of the Student Affairs Committee (SAC).

Who can vote?

All current InterPore members are eligible to vote.

If you plan to participate in this year's elections, now is a good time to visit your My InterPore page and ensure that your membership will be active throughout November 2026. If you have any questions about your membership status, please contact membership@interpore.org.
