This gathering will be a great opportunity to examine how the convergence of scientific research, technological and social innovationcan foster sustainable development practices in Africa and  across the globe.  Many world class experts from the public and private sectors and non-governmental institutions will present their latest findings in research and education on a wide range of topics encompassing the following disciplines  and applications :

• New materials development and characterization
• Membrane processes & engineering,
• Modeling and simulation methods for filtration,
• Applications specific to membranes.

The event will take place in the vibrant city ofCasablanca, one of Morocco’s major economic and scientific hubs, offering an inspiring setting for international scientific exchange and collaboration.

The EMS Summer School 2026 will take place at the University of Girona (Spain) and is organized under the umbrella of the Spanish ResearchNetwork on Membrane Science and Technology for Water Treatment (MEMBRANET). This network, funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (MICIU) through the State ResearchAgency (AEI), is coordinated by the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) and brings together 11 research groups from 7 universities and 3 research centers across Spain.

The UdG–LEQUIA team has solid experience in hosting international training activities, having successfully organized the 2023 SummerSchool on Membranes for Water Processes within the BIP Erasmus+ Programme.
