iWMK 2014

The first International Workshop on Membrane in Kobe (iWMK) started in 2014, as an initiative by which leading researchers from our overseas partner institutions gathered in Kobe. They are:

• Chung Yuan University (Taiwan)
• Hangyang University (Korea)
• Victoria University (Australia)
• Zhejiang University (China)

During the workshop these researchers, together with researchers from our center performed special lectures where their latest developments in membrane engineering technologies were presented; more than a hundred participants from academia and industry attended these lectures.

After finishing the lectures session, a free panel discussion was held. It mainly targeted the environmental issues and membraneresearch trends in each country. Not only the keynote speakers shared their insides but also auditing members exchanged their views on today’s and future membrane technology.
