The understanding of membranes is integral to life and industry, from the separation of food and water, to petrochemicals and nutrient uptake by plants, fuel cells and microbial protection, to the dissolution of nutrients across barriers. In some cases, separation can be beneficial.

ICMS 2023 brings together participants from across the world and provides a platform for scientific exchange on new ideas and the latest research in membrane science and technology. A comprehensive technical programme is in place that includes five plenary talks, keynote and invited speakers presenting their most recent and innovative work, and an evening poster session.
With about 200 presenters and attendees, ICMS presents state-of-the-art research and industry progress to build a stimulating programme that pushes the frontiers in membrane science and application. The participants include leading researchers from academia, the chemical industry, and the services industry.
The key themes for the conference span three major focus areas in the separation world:
1. Circular design and engineering of membranes for pressing separations.
2. Bridging the industry-academia gap in a post-COVID-19 world.
3. A tribute to Dr. Richard William Baker for his remarkable 60-year contribution to the field of separation sciences.
Within these key themes, the scientific programme of the conference includes all the technical areas of membrane science and separations, including membrane fabrication and modification, transport phenomena modelling, and membrane applications in a broad variety of areas, such as water treatment, gas separation, and carbon capture. The conference will feature advances in membrane technology, from the latest innovations in synthesis, characterisation, processing, and modelling to applications in health, energy, and sustainability, as well as future materials and devices.
