The British Zeolite Association promotes zeolite and ordered nanoporous materials science in the UK. It does this through its annual research conference, which brings academic and industrial scientists together to discuss the latest developments in the field, as well as by its support for research students, its summer research bursaries for under-graduate students and other educational programmes and the Founders' Award, an annual prize for the best PhD student working in the area of micro- or mesoporous scienceand the Barrer Award, which is awarded every three years for the meritorious recent pure or applied work in the field of porous inorganic materials.

UK MOF symposium 9 - 10 April 2018

After the successful half-day meetings in 2016 and 2018, we are organising a two day meeting to bring the UK research community working on metal-organic frameworks and open framework compounds todgether at the University of Southampton.

2017 Founders' Award - And the winner is ...

Congratulation to Matthew Ryder who won this year's Founders' Award for his work on studying mainly mechanical properties of metal-organic frameworks using quantum chemical calculations and neutron scattering experiments carried out at ISIS. Matthew is studying for a DPhil degree in the Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford.
