8th BIOT Conference on Poromechanics

Salt Lake City, Utah | –

Call for MS

We are pleased to invite proposals for Mini-Symposiums to be held during the 8th Biot Conference on Poromechanics in Salt Lake City in October 2025. This event offers a platform for organizers to propose focused sessions on emerging topics, cutting-edge research, and interdisciplinary challenges in the field of porous materials.

If you are interested in leading a session and bringing together a group of experts to explore a particular theme, we encourage you to submit a proposal. Mini-Symposia are an excellent way to create in-depth discussions, share unique insights, and stimulate new collaborations.

Submission Guidelines
