Balancing the parent you aspire to be with the demands of a scientific career can be challenging. MiniPore is a supportive community where researchers and caregivers come together to share experiences, communicate needs, and advocate for better support.

As part of InterPore 2026 in Nantes, we invite you to join us for an in-person meetup on Wednesday, 21 May, during the coffee break from 10:05 to 10:35. This informal gathering will be an opportunity to connect with fellow parents and discuss how InterPore can better support researchers with caregiving responsibilities.

InterPore is committed to supporting parents attending InterPore 2026. A dedicated lactation room will be available throughout the conference, and additional family support options may be arranged based on interest.

If you would like to make use of these services, please contact us at equipore@interpore.org. You are also invited to join the MiniPore LinkedIn group to connect with fellow parents and share how InterPore can better support you as both a caregiver and a scientist.

Sign up for one of our 2026 Conference Courses, offered as satellite events of InterPore 2026. Courses will be held in person on Monday, 18 May, the day before the conference begins.
