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.
