EquiPore is committed to creating a more inclusive and equitable research environment within InterPore. Through member-driven initiatives, we provide a platform for dialogue, support, and action on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) in porous media research. We do this via the following activities:

• Facilitating Inclusive Communication – Providing a space for underrepresented groups within InterPore to connect, share experiences, and support equality and equity in research.
• Sharing Best Practices – Exchanging knowledge and successful strategies on DEI initiatives to foster a more inclusive scientific community.
• Science in Policy – Our activities in ISC and relevant resources (contact: Tannaz Pak)

• Meetings & Training – Organizing discussions, workshops, and training sessions on DEI-related topics.
• Community Well-being Survey – Gathering insights to understand and improve the well-being and experiences of our community members.

Take part in our Academic Leadership survey! - this survey aims to understand how significant events, such as political shifts, policy changes, global crises, or natural disasters, have impacted academic careers. We also seek to explore the role academic leadership and societies, such as Interpore, can play in supporting scientists during such times.

• Mentorship & Reverse Mentorship – Creating opportunities for professional growth through guidance, collaboration, and mutual learning.
• Your Space for Action! – Have an idea for an initiative? Lead the way and make an impact!
