May 2026 marks a period of strong international engagement, with our partnership at ICIM-18, the release of our Membrane Day video tribute, our growing invovlment in Science Diplomacy and the submission of 4 European projects to strengthen research collaborations.
ICIM 18 – Montpellier, June 2026
We are delighted to announce that we will be present as a partner at the 18th International Conference on Inorganic Membranes – ICIM 18, taking place in Montpellier in June 2026.
We look forward to connecting with membranologists from around the world!
European Project Calls 
We continue to increase our participation in European project calls. In this context, we have participated in the submission of four projects in total: three under the WIDERA work programme and one under the Pathfinder Open scheme. These initiatives are key to strengthening research excellence, reducing innovation gaps across Europe, supporting breakthrough research, and building long-term scientific partnerships.
Membrane Day 2026
As part of Membrane Day 2026 organised by EMS, we shared in April 2026 a short film retracing the history of inorganic membranes in Montpellier.
This video pays tribute to the pioneers of the field, specifically Pr. Louis Cot, whose contributions have strongly shaped the development of ceramic membrane science and technology.
European Science Diplomacy Alliance
We are also pleased to announce that we are applying to join the European Science Diplomacy Alliance, strengthening our commitment to science diplomacy, international cooperation, and dialogue between science, policy, and society.
