Dear InterPore colleagues, We start our Newsletter with a big thank you! from our InterPore President Karsten Thompson to the InterPore2023 organization and all who participated. In addition, we update you on the InterPore2023 results regarding the MDPI poster award, the IP council and the InterPore Foundation. And, of course, we look ahead in time, with the PMTTT, the short course from Holger Steeb and Chapter News. All the best, Matthijs de Winter
Letter from the President to InterPore2023 Participants A big thanks to all that joined us in Edinburgh last week, both in person and remotely. I’m still feeling energized from the conference, which anecdotally seems to have been a big hit for newcomers, returning attendees, and seasoned participants alike. As I noted in closing remarks last Thursday: the vibrant oral sessions, and having to queue up to talk with poster presenters, are signs of a healthy society and active research community, which is the foundation of InterPore. A bonus for all of us that were on site was the feeling of being “back to normal” after three years of online and hybrid conferences.
A special thank-you must be extended to our hosts, the Local Organizing Committee, headed up by Florian Doster, Andreas Busch, and Kamal Singh. The beautiful city of Edinburgh was a perfect backdrop for the conference, including the weather that you all must have ordered up for the Wednesday evening hike. Conference logistics were equally impressive (at least after we managed to master the layout of the conference center!), which is important because it means we get to focus on research problems rather than other problems. The annual InterPore conferences are not simple operations, yet the process has become established over the years. This reduces the burden on the LOC and helps ensure quality of the program. Particular credit goes out to a few groups: the InterPore staff, including Karolin and Amy who were on site, Kristy who was coordinating remote operations, and Margaret who organized short courses; the Events Committee chaired by Oleg Iliev; and the Program Committee chaired by Patrick Jenny and Sridhar Ranganathan. Conference sponsors provide important financial backing, and include Kimberly-Clark (platinum), Math2Market, Tescan, ThermoFisher, Canon, Shell, and Comsol. Lastly, thank you to everyone who provided the outstanding technical content, including speakers, poster presenters, co-authors, and short-course organizers. As noted above, everything else emanates from this. Next year we will meet in Qingdao, China from 13-16 May – I hope to see you there. In the meantime, stay well and continue to engage through the many other InterPore offerings. Karsten Thompson

InterPore Council elections: new and familiar facesThe newly composed InterPore Council met on 24 May 2023, as part of InterPore2023. The Council focuses on two main objectives: (i) defining priorities for resource investment and (ii) strengthening the organizational structure and processes. During this meeting, Majid Hassanizadeh and Azita Ahmadi-Senichault were re-elected for another term to continue in their positions. Congratulations! A message from the chair of InterPore Council As we embark on the next two years together, I am committed to making our society a better place for all of us. Our collective mission is to promote collaboration and provide a supportive environment for all InterPore members. One of my primary objectives will be to enhance the support we offer to our members. Your feedback and input will be crucial in shaping the initiatives we undertake. Furthermore, I am committed to fostering diversity within our community. Embracing various perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences is crucial for driving innovation and creating a vibrant environment. I also recognize the importance of our various committees and their role in shaping the direction of the society. I will work to enhance their involvement, ensuring their expertise is utilized effectively. Thank you once again for your trust, and I look forward to collaborating with each and every one of you in the coming years. Professor Peyman Mostaghimi, PhD

It is with gratitude that I write to you as the newly elected Chair of the InterPore Council. I want to thank InterPore and Council members for electing me and placing your trust in me.
The InterPore Foundation for Porous Media Science and Technology (InterPore Foundation) recently put out a call for applications for conference grants for participants from academic institutions from countries with lower- or middle-income economies. It is important for students to gain experience and exposure and build up a scientific network by attending and presenting at international conferences. Also, given economic difficulties in some countries, we wish to help with making it possible for scientists from academic institutions in those countries to attend InterPore meetings.
