Group Membership for National Chapters from LMI countries

InterPore cordially invites the porous media communities of all countries to form national chapters.

National chapters offer elevated visibility, improved local and global networking, platforms for joint workshops and many other benefits. In addition, InterPore provides developing countries the possibility of an institutional membership at reduced rates**.

Find out more about successful national chapters to date here.

Academic researchers associated with national chapters from Low- and Middle-Income countries (LMI countries, as defined by the world bank, https://data.worldbank.org/country/XO) can qualify for special group membership.

A group of researchers from a national chapter of a LMI country can apply for group membership. They must be from academia or research institutes, and not affiliated with an industry. Contrary to regular institutional membership, they do not have to be from the same institution to qualify for this group membership.

There are two categories: small group formed by 15 researchers and large group formed by 35 researchers.
