What our members say

Trusted by over 2000 members worldwide.

I am writing to express my heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional organization of the InterPore2024 conference. Having attended this event in the past and now, once again, having the opportunity to present my research, I am continually impressed by the professional and enriching environment you foster. Your dedication to creating a platform where researchers and professionals can share, discuss, and advance their knowledge is incredibly valuable. Each time, I leave the conference enriched with new insights and ideas, thanks to the well-curated sessions and the opportunity to engage with experts from around the world. Thank you for your hard work and commitment to excellence in organizing this premier event in the field of porous media. I look forward to participating in this and future conferences and continuing to contribute to our vibrant community.

"Shell's interests in porous media flows are very broad, ranging from fundamental aspects of single and multiphase flow, to complex processes relevant to enhanced oil recovery. We seek to complement our strong in-house R&D capabilities through active partnering and open innovation schemes. Especially in the Netherlands, there are many groups doing excelleng research in porous media flows, and InterPore helps us to get connected more closely to these experts."
Steffen Berg Project Leader Rock & Fluids Physics
"InterPore members share our vision that an exciting new age of porous material developments lies ahead when crossing the boundaries of traditional disciplines, ranging from textile engineering to mathematics, from physics and chemical engineering, all the way to computer science and software engineering. By joining InterPore, we made sure to stay informed about the newest trends, best ideas and key requirements in our core business area - 3D image-based material analysis and computer aided material engineering."
Andreas Wiegmann PhD Mathematics and CEO
"I found the InterPore Conference in 2015 a very effective forum to learn about key developments in the understanding of phenomena related to porous media. Whether it be oil extraction from rock structures, ground water infiltration into soils, or ink penetration into paper, it is instructive to see the familiar fundamental problems that are being adressed and approaches that are being developed to answer these questions."
Richard Dodge R&E Senior Technical Leader, Kimberly-Clark
"To us, innovation is not a stand-alone concept. Generating ideas and solutions for complex challenges requires tight connections with academia and industry. We joined InterPore because it helps fuel cooperation and discussions across disciplines."
Pascal Doux Visualization Sciences Group
"The experience that a few of us had at the InterPore Conference last year at Purdue was very rewarding. We saw a very good balance between academia, industry and government, and also between theory, computation and experimentation that is hard to find in other organizations. That is why we decided to become an institutional member of InterPore"
Richard Dodge R&E Senior Technical Leader, Kimberly-Clark
