The Belgian Membrane Group (BMG) is proud to invite the membrane community to its 15th anniversary. This will be celebrated on the 18th Membrane Symposium Poster Day on Friday, October 28th 2022 at the university of Ghent.
The Symposium is organised in collaboration with the German Society for Membrane Technology e. V. (DGMT – Deutsche Gesellschaft für Membrantechnik) and the Dutch Membrane Society (NMG – Nederlands Membranengenootschap). The objective of the Membrane Symposium is to present progress on membrane research and development at laboratory and industrial level. It provides a platform for networking for universities, institutes as well as industries. We invite Dutch, Belgian, German and other international membrane researchers, developers, technology providers, equipment & system manufacturers and end-users to share their latest results and membrane related experiences.
