18th International Conference
on Inorganic Membranes

June 29th – July 3rd 2026
icim202618th international conference on inorganic membranes

Topics

The conference emphasizes both fundamental and applied research on inorganic membrane materials and processes, aiming to accelerate progress in their design, synthesis, advanced characterization, and modeling. It also highlights a large variety of applications in key areas such as gas separation, water purification, processing of chemicals, energy production, bio- and food-technologies, as well as health and environmental protection.
Note that a full-day symposium will be dedicated to Inorganic membranes for H2-related applications.
