The International Conference on Inorganic Membranes brings together scientists, engineers, and industry leaders from across the globe to explore the latest advances in membrane science and technology. Held every two years in a different host city, the conference series has grown into a premier event for discussing innovations in ceramic, metallic, and hybrid membrane systems. Participants share insights on topics ranging from gas separation and functional layers to emerging applications in batteries and fuel cells, fostering a collaborative environment where fundamental research meets practical engineering challenges.

The conference program is designed to encourage broad participation from both established researchers and early-career professionals. Technical sessions cover the full spectrum of inorganic membrane development, from material synthesis and characterization to module design and industrial deployment. Beyond the formal presentations, the event provides a unique platform for networking, with poster sessions, panel discussions, and informal exchanges that often spark new collaborations. Local organizing committees work closely with international partners to ensure each edition reflects the host region's strengths while maintaining the conference's global character.

Inorganic membranes play an increasingly vital role in addressing pressing environmental and energy challenges, from efficient gas separation and carbon capture to advanced water purification and sustainable chemical processing. The conference highlights how these technologies contribute to cleaner industrial systems and more efficient resource utilization. By bringing together diverse perspectives from academia, research institutes, and industry, the event helps translate scientific breakthroughs into practical membrane applications, advancing the field toward broader commercial adoption and meaningful impact on global sustainability goals.
