"Receiving the conference grant for InterPore2023 was a pivotal moment in my academic journey. The diverse topics covered allowed me to delve deeply into porous media mechanisms, while the event's collaborative atmosphere enabled meaningful connections with colleagues from various universities. The grant not only enriched my academic understanding but also provided a platform for potential collaborations. Beyond the academic sphere, the chance to explore Edinburgh added a delightful dimension to the experience. I am sincerely grateful for the InterPore foundation's support, and I'm enthusiastic about contributing my testimony to the Conference Grants Donation drive. By sharing my positive experience, I hope to encourage others to support this crucial initiative and apply for the grant, ensuring that more students and scientists can benefit from the enriching opportunities provided by InterPore conferences."
