Dear InterPore friends,

“I’ll see you next week at InterPore” was the closing remark during an online meeting yesterday.
Exactly! Despite hundreds or thousands of kilometers distance, we will see each other online and
engage in scientific discussions and social interactions. Almost like during an in-person
conference.

It is already great to see all the uploaded pre-recorded presentations and posters+, and it will be a
pleasure to go online on Monday and interact, which actually already happens through the Community
page. I am particularly curious to see who will post something on the “Lost and found” thread! For
keys, phones and wallets, please refer to your office/house mates. Perhaps if you’ve lost your
poster, one will help by submitting the URL?

And first, this Newsletter with a new InterPore Academy short course coming up and updates from
National Chapters.

See you next week!

InterPore Academy Short Course: OpenFOAM

The next InterPore Academy short course focuses on OpenFOAM® (www.openfoam.com). In less than a decade, OpenFOAM has
become a major simulation platform for research related to flow and transport in porous media at
various scales of interest. This short course aims at discovering this simulation platform through a
series of lectures and live demonstrations. The course is taught by Dr. Cyprien Soulaine, who is an
Associate Scientist at CNRS, the French National Centre for Scientific Research, working at the
Institute of Earth Sciences of Orléans and using OpenFOAM since 2009 for his own research. He has
delivered OpenFOAM® training classes to more than a hundred students, researchers, and engineers
both in academia and industry.

This short course has limited capacity of 30 attendees. Click
