• Session assignments can be found by navigating to the My Conference section of this website and clicking on the abstract link.

• During the sessions each presenter will give a 10-minute presentation, followed by a 5-minute Q&A.

• Detailed instructions on how and when to upload your slides will be sent to each oral presenter shortly.

• Beginning 08 May, all oral presenters will be provided a link for uploading an optional pre-recorded video of their presentation for participants who are unable to attend the live presentation.

• Attendees and presenters can also use the chat feature in Whova to discuss presentations at any time.

More information on In-Person Oral Presentations, including guidelines and instructions, can be found on our website.

Watson Forum Micro-Interviews during InterPore2023!

Dr. Adriana Paluszny, plenary speaker, 22 May, 9:50 – 10:20 am

We would like to invite all women/non-binary/fluid InterPore2023 participants to contribute interviews to the Watson Forum video channel. Your contribution would take approximately 10 minutes to record and would make a lasting impression on a fellow scientist or A-level student watching you talk! Whether you are a student or a professor, a modeller or an experimentalist, please come and share with us your experience as a porous media researcher, and send yourself a message to the past!!

If you’re interested in participating in an interview for the Watson Forum video channel, please contact Dr Adriana Paluszny.

The Watson Forum was developed in 2016 to foster a sense of community in the fields of numerical modelling, simulation, and programming, and create a sparse but permanent and accessible record of the women who work in this area. Many of the women interviewed for the Watson Forum are from the fields of earth sciences and porous media, and interviewees often have hybrid careers that combine numerical and analytical modelling with other activities, such as experimental and field work. For more details, visit this YouTube channel.

Student Team-Building Event

The Student Team Building Activity and Game Night will be held at 6:00 pm on Tuesday night at BrewDog Pub’s Lothian Road location! Please note that the pub has informed us that they can only guarantee space for 100 participants. Therefore, this event is strictly limited to students and entry will be on a first-come-first-served basis. The schedule of events is as follows:

The Student Affairs Committee and Local Organizing Committee look forward to welcoming you at this exciting evening of fun and networking!

Photographer Wanted

We’re hoping to find a volunteer to help capture images of the speakers, attendees, and activities at InterPore2023. If you’re passionate about photography, we’d love to have you join our team. You’ll have the opportunity to showcase your skills and be a part of a great community of volunteers.

If you’re interested in volunteering as a photographer, please contact us.

Silver Sponsor

We are thankful to our Silver Sponsor for InterPore2023: Shell!

Sponsor highlight: Multiphysics software for simulation and modelling

COMSOL is a global provider of simulation software for product design and research to technical enterprises, research labs and universities. Its COMSOL Multiphysics® product is an integrated software environment for creating physics-based models and simulation applications. A particular strength is its ability to account for coupled or multiphysics phenomena. Add-on products expand the simulation platform for structural, electromagnetics, heat transfer, fluid flow, acoustics and chemical applications.

COMSOL’s dedicated add-on product tailored for the modeling and analysis of porous media includes functionality for modeling single-phase flow in porous media based on Darcy’s law, Brinkman equations, and Richards’ equations, as well as fracture flow and a combination of free and porous media flow.

For the most realistic and accurate models, multiphysics capabilities include non-isothermal flows in porous media, effective properties for multicomponent systems, poroelasticity, and transport of moisture and chemical species. The Porous Media Flow Module helps engineers from multiple industries, including agricultural, chemical, civil, and nuclear sectors.

Interfacing tools enable the integration of COMSOL Multiphysics simulations with all major technical computing and CAD tools on the computer-aided engineering (CAE) market. Simulation experts rely on COMSOL Compiler™ and COMSOL Server™ to deploy applications to their design teams, manufacturing departments, test laboratories and customers throughout the world.
