"Design of Membrane Materials and Multifunctional Systems - DM3.The IEM is structured in 3 scientific departments of competence: the development of a process engineering and membrane engineering approach to model the phenomena and carry out changes of scale.identification and control of interactions between the membrane surface, the environment and the solutes to be separated.control of the nature and structure of the membranes, in terms of the materials used, their morphology and the configuration employed.It therefore calls on scientists from complementary disciplines to conduct multidisciplinary research taking advantage of very specific skills in : The objective of the IEM is the development of membranes and membrane processes, which may have important societal implications in the fields of energy, water treatment, environmental protection, health and food. The IEM is supervised by the École Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Montpellier (ENSCM), the University of Montpellier (UM) and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and is located on the Triolet campus (UM). The unit brings together about 75 permanent staff and about 100 non-permanent staff (masters, PhD students, post-doctoral fellows and visiting professors) to work on research, development and training projects in the field of membrane materials and processes. The European Membrane Institute (EMI) was created in 2000.
