EMH participates in the promotion of membranes and membrane processes through various actions. We are acting as a facilitator of projects to help our partners reach their best potential and ensuring the success of the research projects.
At EMH, we promote and enhance the coordination of research activities in membrane science, foster expert collaboration, and build strong ties with European industry, particularly with small and medium-sized enterprises. EMH also acts as a think tank, developing new and promising concepts such as science diplomacy and nature-based solutions. Our work spans diverse fields including health, environment, energy, and transport, aligning closely with the UN SDGs and UNESCO’s missions. We focus on facilitating visibility and collaboration in membrane science and technology across Europe, developing and implementing strategic communication plans for researchers and the public, and establishing strong interactions among researchers, industry, and end-users to address interdisciplinary challenges.
Our expertise
We encourage and support research in membrane technologies, aiming to foster technological innovations that contribute to sustainable development.
We act as a partner for local and international organisations, helping them to use membrane technologies in conflict prevention and resolution, particularly in providing access to water for populations in need.
We encourage, support, and implement comprehensive training, research, and technological development programs related to membranes and their applications.
We function as a Think Tank, focusing on biomimetic approaches that analyze and optimize nature-based models to design sustainable processes and systems. Our goal is to meet societal needs through innovative solutions.
We promote the mobility of researchers and professionals within the membrane technology sector and participate in creating new job opportunities.
We actively inform and communicate about advancements and activities in membrane technology to the broader public, aiming to enhance understanding and acceptance of these innovations.
