“I never had the opportunity to attend an InterPore conference before Edinburgh 2023. I’m grateful to the InterPore grant program for that. Besides the chance to present my research to other researchers who work in the same field as mine, I learned a lot from the several presentations performed during the conference. Indeed, the most important was to shake hands with authors who are references to my research. Face-to-face gives anyone the possibility to create bonds and new scientific collaborations.”

“Some policies in my home country restrict researchers from attending international conferences and events using national public funds. However, the feedback and insights provided by our peers in international conferences such as Interpore are key to creating fruitful international collaborations. I want to thank the Interpore Foundation for providing a grant for me to attend Interpore online (2023). This support has positively impacted my career and opened up possibilities for collaboration with world-renowned experts.”

“The InterPore2023 conference grant allowed me to participate for the first time in this very important meeting. It was a great opportunity for me to learn about cutting-edge research on Porous Media. In addition, I could share with the community the capabilities using X-ray tomography at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory to further advance studies in this research area.

"Receiving the conference grant for InterPore2023 was a pivotal moment in my academic journey. The diverse topics covered allowed me to delve deeply into porous media mechanisms, while the event's collaborative atmosphere enabled meaningful connections with colleagues from various universities. The grant not only enriched my academic understanding but also provided a platform for potential collaborations. Beyond the academic sphere, the chance to explore Edinburgh added a delightful dimension to the experience.

"I am grateful to receive The InterPore2023 conference grant, as a turning point in my research on the subject of industrial decarbonization. It was a great motivation and built a confidence anchor for me and my team to initiate more projects on this subject throughout the year, lead students of different disciplines to perform integrated research on the subject and conduct academic workshops.

"Attending InterPore 2023 in Edinburgh was a transformative experience, made possible by the generous grant I received. Presenting my work among experts in porous media was invaluable, providing insights into cutting-edge research and fostering connections. The interdisciplinary nature of the conference broadened my perspective, and the informal networking events facilitated cultural exchange. Grateful for this opportunity, I look forward to applying the knowledge gained to contribute to the advancement of porous media research."

"I am very grateful for the InterPore2023 conference grant, which gave me the opportunity to connect with other researchers, share my work, and learn more about different aspects of porous media. I appreciate InterPore’s efforts to promote diversity and inclusion through programs like the conference grant and I am glad that students can benefit from this support. Thanks to the InterPore board and conference organisers for this initiative."

"The InterPore2023 conference grant provided me with a great opportunity to engage with top researchers in porous media and share my work with the community. Meeting and interacting with scientists from diverse fields was invaluable. I am confident that this network will enhance my future collaborations in the field, contributing to significant progress. I express my gratitude to the conference organizers for offering such grants and hope others can benefit from this opportunity as well."
