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 iWMK2023 will be an on-site event at Kobe University. This year we have totally 13 universities from 8 different countries and regions will give presentations on their recent research activities. Additionally, we are very honored to have Prof. Mathias Ulbricht from University of Duisburg-Essen for an online Plenary Lecture. We also planned a poster presentation session for students. 

We believe the iWMK2023 will not only provide a wide spectrum of exchanges on today’s membrane research, but also a great learning opportunity for students as well as a diverse networking place for academia and industry.

  • Chung Yuan University (Taiwan)

  • National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (Taiwan)

  • Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Hong Kong)
