Local Transport Passes Available in Nantes

We are happy to provide a limited number of local transport passes for InterPore2026 participants. Passes can be picked up at the registration desk.

As quantities are limited, we kindly ask participants to take a pass only when needed and return it when not in use, so others can benefit as well.

Additional Spaces Available: Porous Media – From Physics to Art Tour

Space is still available for the Porous Media: From Physics to Art Tour on Monday, 18 May (14:00–18:00). This free excursion combines science, sustainability, and art in Nantes. 

Interested participants should contact conference2026@interpore.org.

Scientific activities in the field of porous media in Nantes

The Water and Environment team at the Geotechnics, Environment, Natural Hazards and Earth Sciences (GERS) research unit conducts research into the application of hydrological sciences to the urban water cycle, the study of hydrological risk and the environmental chemistry of human-made environments. They study the transport of contaminants within porous materials, such as urban soils, at various scales ranging from sustainable urban drainage systems in the field to laboratory column-scale experiments. A variety of investigative methods are employed, most of which involve analytical techniques at some point, including experimental techniques such as breakthrough curves and magnetic resonance imaging, as well as computer simulations.

Promotional Partner

The American Rock Mechanics Association (ARMA) is a professional and international engineering and scientific society, which promotes interaction among specialists, practitioners, scholars, and educators in rock mechanics and geomechanics. We advocate for individuals and firms in all aspects of rock mechanics and geomechanics, including multi-disciplinary rock physics and rock engineering technology advancement and technological applications for civil engineering, mining engineering and tunneling, oil and gas recovery, and geo-related socioeconomic problem-solving. We provide a forum and information resources for our members, related organizations, and the public, while our strong student membership ensures future continuity.
