INTERDISCIPLINARY INSIGHTS INTO POROUS MEDIA
Join researchers and professionals from across disciplines such as engineering, geosciences, biology, applied physics, and beyond to explore cutting-edge developments in porous media and discover how interdisciplinary approaches are driving progress in energy transition, biotechnology, environmental sustainability, and material innovation.
THE SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
Featuring 20 interdisciplinary minisymposia on porous media research and applications, including: • Energy transition & carbon storage • Soil and groundwater processes • Biotechnics & nature-based agriculture • Filtration, foams, and membranes • Modeling, imaging, and upscaling methods • Uncertainty & sensitivity analysis Full minisymposia list available at interpore.org/2026.
FOCUS THEME
Reflecting Nantes’ commitment to sustainable development, this year’s focus theme highlights bio and geo-sourced porous materials for green construction. Topics include their thermal, fluidic, and mechanical behavior, modeling and aging processes, and life-cycle analysis toward more sustainable and durable built environments.
CONFERENCE LOCATION
The conference will take place at La Cité des Congrès, a modern convention center near the Loire River and city center. With its creative energy, historic charm, and focus on sustainability, Nantes offers an inspiring backdrop for scientific collaboration and exchange.
