Date:
November 20(09:00-18:35)
Venue:
Online event on ZOOM and Microsoft Teams

We would like to thank all of you for your kind attendance at the iWMK2020. 

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.

Owing to COVID-19 pandemic the iWMK2020 will be an online event on ZOOM and Microsoft Teams. Totally 14 universities from 9 different countries will give presentations on their recent research achievements. Utilizing recent online conference platforms, we believe the iWMK2020 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.

We are greatly honored to host 14 overseas universities and institutes as the follows.

  • Chung Yuan University (Taiwan)
  • National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (Taiwan)
  • Hanyang University (Korea)
  • Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Hong Kong)
  • Institut Européen des Membranes (France)
  • Institut Teknologi Bandung (Indonesia)
  • Nanjing Tech University (China)
  • Tiangong University (China)
  • Universiti Teknologi of Malaysia (Malaysia)
  • University of Technology Sydney (Australia)
