Second Engineering Porous Materials at Multiple Scales (EPoMM) conference

This conference brings together researchers from the diverse field of porous materials, fostering collaboration across the many scales of their study and application. Our aim is to encourage the cross-fertilisation of ideas, methodologies, and potential applications while showcasing advances in fields including renewable energy, gas separation, catalysis, water treatment, electronics, and healthcare.

Check it out 17 Sep 2025, 10.00am to 18 Sep 2025, 4.00pm BST (GMT +01:00)

Past Events

The 2nd Conference on Engineering Porous Materials at Multiple Scales (EPoMM)

The 2nd Conference on Engineering Porous Materials at Multiple Scales (EPoMM) was held at the University of Bath on 17–18 September 2025, bringing together researchers from across the UK and beyond to showcase the latest advances in porous materials science. The event attracted over close to 100 delegates, both in person and online, and featured more than close to 30 oral presentation and over 30 excellent poster presentations spanning a remarkable breadth of materials, methods, and applications in the field.

About Us

The research area of porous materials is extremely diverse, including inorganic materials, organic polymers, synthetic frameworks, biological tissues and composite systems. The variety of applications is equally wide ranging, including renewable energy, separation processes, carbon capture, catalysis, water purification, electronic materials and medicine. Our EPSRC network aims to make the UK a beacon for multiscale porous materials research, where we will form new collaborations, find new research directions, and provide routes for dissemination.

Our Project

The field of porous materials is extremely diverse in terms of materials, the nature of the porosity, and their applications.

Our EPoMM network aims to foster multiscale and applications-led collaboration between scientists and engineers that spans the entire engineering and physical sciences portfolio. These collaborations will inspire new research directions and new applications to achieve globally significant outcomes with academic, commercial and societal benefits.

Multidisciplinary collaboration is at the heart of what we do and by the end of the grant, we will have created a self-sustaining network of porous media experts. We’ll be able to work collaboratively to respond to industry needs, provide dissemination and horizon scanning for new and emerging applications.
