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 science and the Barrer Award, which is awarded every three years for the meritorious recent pure or applied work in the field of porous inorganic materials.

COVID-19 Statement

Following the recent developments in the COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation, we have taken the difficult decision to postpone the 8th Federation of European Zeolite Associations (FEZA) Conference which was due to take place in Brighton on 12 – 15 July 2020.

The congress will now take place from 4 – 7 July 2021 remaining at The Brighton Centre and we will automatically be moving the current programme over to the new July 2021 schedule and hope that you are available to attend at this time.Please note that given the unprecedented impact of COVID-19.

We are unable to support student travel bursaries for FEZA2020. We apologise for the inconvenience.

FEZA2020

The British Zeolite Association will this year, under the auspices of the Federation of European Zeolite Associations, and in collaboration with the RSC Porous Materials Group, organise the 8th FEZA Conference, in Brighton, from 12 - 15 July 2020.
