Reminder: Call for organizing European Membrane Society Summer School 2023
The Society is keen on supporting scientific or technical events related to the field of membranes and membrane processes, particularly with a focus on events involving young and early-stage researchers. Therefore, the EMS has opened the Call for Proposals for the 38th EMS Summer School in 2023.
In order to have your Summer School accepted as an EMS event, you should apply to the EMS Council according to the following guidelines:
Â
The application should specify:
- description of the facilities for the Summer School and proposed dates;
- tentative program including course contents and timing;
- members of the organising committee (including members of the EMS Council);
- members of the scientific committee (including members of the EMS Council);
- budget outline, including:
- any request for EMS funding or loan;
- list of sponsors;
- expected number of participants;
- break-even number.
Any outsourcing of organisational work should be included in the budget. Any EMS loan received would be expected to be returned as the first call on excess income over expenses. Additional excess income is to be split evenly between the EMS and the organisers. The EMS will not cover losses beyond the EMS funding. The EMS membership fees should be collectable with the registration fees. All rights and duties will be formalised in a contract with the EMS.
- Important websites related to the proposal.
Â
Proposals will be selected according to the following criteria:
- Scientific programme
- Conference venue/organisational and professional planning
- Registration fees
- Financial risk involved in the event

The selected application will be announced during the EUROMEMBRANE 2022 conference in November 2022.

Richard Maling Barrer was one of the pioneers in the membrane field with extensive and significant research on membrane material and gas transport. This award is given by the European Membrane Society to honour Professor Barrer memory and to recognise individuals who have made outstanding contributions that have significantly advanced membrane science and technology.
Eligibility
Anyone working in membrane science and technology is eligible to be nominated (except for current Council members of the European Membrane Society).

Guide for Applicants and Organizers - EMS Conferences
A short Guide for Applicants for organising an EMS event has been published: Guide Version 2021
It summarizes the principal points you should mention in your application to organise an EMS event and evaluate your application. It is meant to help you prepare the proposal to save time and check that you have considered all relevant aspects to make your proposal and the event a success. This Guide is divided into parts - Part I explains aspects that you should address during your application. Part II describes issues you are expected to follow up on and regularly inform the EMS Council about your successful application. When writing your application, it is recommended to read the information presented in Part II to help make your proposal more complete.
