iWMK 2022
- Date：
- November 17 (09:50-16:30), 18 (08:50-18:05)
- Venue：
- Zoom Online Webinar
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 the COVID pandemic the iWMK2022 will be an online event on ZOOM. Totally 14 universities from 8 different countries and regions will give presentations on their recent research activities. This time we are very honored to have Prof. Rong WANG from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore for a Plenary Talk. Additionally we also improved the student’s online poster presentation with longer time for academic exchanges.
Utilizing recent online conference platforms, we believe the iWMK2022 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.
Participating research facilities:
- Chung Yuan University (Taiwan)
- National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (Taiwan)
- Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Hong Kong)
- Institut Teknologi Bandung (Indonesia)
- Nanjing Tech University (China)
- Tiangong University (China)
- Tsinghua University (China)
- Universiti Teknologi of Malaysia (Malaysia)
- University of Technology Sydney (Australia)
