The UK InterPore Chapter

The UK Interpore Chapter was established in 2015 to develop a medium for exchanging research ideas related to porous media across all disciplines of science and engineering. The UK Chapter is one of the most active national chapters within InterPore. It regularly organises mini-symposiums and annual conferences to enable the porous media community to engage in research, and it is involved in the management and organisational aspects of InterPore. The UK InterPore Chapter had seven successful annual conferences at Heriot-Watt University (2015), Loughborough University (2016), University of Warwick (2017), University of Aberdeen & TOTAL (2018), Teesside University (2019), Brunel University (2022) and Manchester University (2024). There were some gaps during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-21) and the global Interpore Conference at Edinburgh University (2023).
