The InterPore Honors & Awards, funded by the InterPore Foundation, were established to recognize the achievements of InterPore members who have made outstanding contributions to porous media science and technology, or who have provided significant and valuable services to the porous media community. These awards aim to honor researchers at various stages of their careers, including students, young researchers, junior faculty, rising stars, world-renowned scientists, and pioneers.
Detailed information about the various awards can be found in the corresponding sections of the left menu. To learn more about the other activities of the InterPore Foundation, please visit the Foundation page.
