Engineering Porous Materials at Multiple Scales (EPoMM) conference

We warmly welcome you to the historic and picturesque city of Bath for the Second Conference on Engineering Porous Materials at Multiple Scales (EPoMM).

  • 17 Sep 2025, 10.00am to 18 Sep 2025, 4.00pm BST (GMT +01:00)
  • Chancellors’ Building, University of Bath

This conference brings together researchers from the diverse field of porous materials, fostering collaboration across the many scales of their study and application. Our aim is to encourage the cross-fertilisation of ideas, methodologies, and potential applications while showcasing advances in fields including renewable energy, gas separation, catalysis, water treatment, electronics, and healthcare.

We invite abstracts covering a broad range of topics that reflect the different scales of study, use, and porosity in porous materials research. The themes include:

  1. Scales of Porosity – Encompassing microporosity, mesoporosity, macroporosity, and hierarchicallly porous structures.
  2. Scales of Study – Ranging from molecular-level investigations to nanoscale phenomena, all the way to bulk material behaviour.
  3. Scales of Application – Covering materials applied on the scale of milligrams through to industrial-scale processes, including scale-up case studies.
  4. Temporal Scales – Addressing both short-term, high-frequency characterisation to long-term performance assessments of porous materials and associated technologies.
