Programme

Imagine Membrane will be highly interactive with ample time for discussing science.

Invited speakers will present their view and perspective on currently hot topics in membrane science and technology, followed by Sessions chairs leading the ample open discussion. 

There are no parallel sessions and it is not original data that are in the foreground but the discussion of concepts. In this context, ImagineMembrane hopes to complement the regular conferences of the membrane community by providing a dynamic and friendly venue to discuss the opportunities and challenges for membrane science & technology.

Particularly young researchers are strongly encouraged to participate and actively engage in the discussions on current and future challenges of membrane science and technology.
