The International Workshop on Membrane in Kobe 2026

iWMK is an annual international workshop hosted by our center at Kobe University, aimed at fostering academic exchange and discussing cutting-edge membrane research and technology.

Currently, the Research Center for Membrane and Film Technology has established academic agreements with 19 universities and research institutions both in Japan and abroad, actively promoting human resource development and research collaboration in the field of membrane engineering.

For iWMK2026, we have invited distinguished researchers from 20 universities and research institutions, including Kobe University, to present their latest research findings and share insights on international trends in the membrane industry. The event will also feature poster presentations by students, as well as a special invited lecture by Professor Sandra Kentish from the University of Melbourne, Australia.

We sincerely hope that this workshop will provide a valuable platform for researchers in Japan's membrane engineering community to directly engage with international peers, exchange up-to-date knowledge and technical insights, and build new networks.
