The International Workshop on Membrane in Kobe (iWMK) is an annual event hosted by the Research Center for Membrane and Film Technology, Kobe University (MaFTech center), with the aim at academic exchanges and discussions on today’s advanced membrane research and technology.
The iWMK2019 is a 2 day event and will be held at the Rokkodai campus of Kobe University. On Nov 18 we have special invited lecture and student presentation session. On Nov 19, totally 13 universities from 9 different countries will give presentations on their recent research achievements. We believe the iWMK2019 will not only provide a wide spectrum of exchanges on today’s membrane research, also a great learning opportunity for students as well as a diverse networking place for academia and industry.
At iWMK2018, we are greatly honored to host 13 overseas universities and institutes as the follows.
- Chung Yuan University (Taiwan)
- National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (Taiwan)
