ImagineMembrane aims to be a platform for discussing actual and future challenges in membrane science and technology, and particularly the role of membrane materials and technology within the context of the water-energy-food nexus. For this purpose, ImagineMembrane will take place in an environment that fosters exchange and with ample time to do so. A strong emphasis of ImagineMembrane is on the next-generation membrane researchers which are strongly encouraged to participate in this conference.
