Established in June 2020 as part of the InterPore Academy, the Young Academy is focused on advancing global understanding and scientific research in porous media for students, PhD candidates, and early-career researchers. Our mission is to nurture scientific interest and career development among young porous media scientists worldwide.

Our Initiatives

• Courses, Webinars, and Workshops: We offer targeted courses, specialized webinars, thematic workshops, and events throughout the year, including during the InterPore annual conferences.
• Collaboration with SAC: Young Academy works closely with the Student Affairs Committee (SAC) to align our activities with the scientific interests and career aspirations of young researchers.
• Porous Media Tea Time Talks (#PorousMediaTTT): A cornerstone of Young Academy's initiatives, #PorousMediaTTT webinars launched in response to the 2020 global pandemic. They offer a crucial platform that compensates for cancelled conferences by providing equal opportunities, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and promoting career growth in porous media sciences. This well-received initiative continues to actively engage young researchers and national chapters worldwide
