Dear InterPore Friends,

Today’s InterPore2022 Bulletin updates you on the progress made with organizing InterPore2022. The SAC career event has been scheduled as well as two lab tours. Moreover, the SAC Music Event is scheduled again! Those who joined in 2021 will probably agree that this was one of the highlights of InterPore2021. And, of course, we’d like to draw your attention to our renewed platinum sponsor Kimberley-Clark.

All the best,
Matthijs de Winter

SAC Career event

Wednesday, 01 June, 16:00 – 17:00

Many students and PhD candidates struggle with deciding which career path to follow after graduation. Should I pursue an academic career or search for possibilities in industry or governmental agencies? What are the pros (and cons) of each career path? What does life after university look like? To help shed light on these big questions, the Students Affairs Committee (SAC) will organize its traditional “Career Event” during InterPore2022 in Abu Dhabi to hear from established professionals sharing their personal views and experiences.

In this session, we will NOT hear about their latest research or industrial achievements, but instead about their different career paths and the critical choices they had to make along the way. In addition, we will hear about the opportunities for Porous Media scientists in an era of the energy transition. You will also have the chance to ask the speakers any questions you have! This event is free and open to all participants of InterPore2021!

Panelists:

Sarah Gasda, Research Director NORCE, Norway	Masa Prodanovic, Associate Professor University of Texas at Austin, USA
Patrick Jenny, Professor ETH Zurich, Switzerland	Vahid Niasar, Reader University of Manchester, UK
