The 9^th European Nanoporous Materials Institute of Excellence Workshop took place from 12 to 13 September 2024 at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, in Porto. European Nanoporous Materials Institute of Excellence (ENMIX) members and invited participants attended the event organized by Professor Fernando Pereira (local organizer) and Elias Klemm (CEO of ENMIX) with the support of LSRE-LCM/ALiCE and SPQ.

ENMIX, established in 2009, is a scientific network dedicated to the advancement of nanoporous materials, uniting expertise in areas such as material synthesis, characterization, and applications. A key focus of ENMIX is fostering the development of PhD students and postdoctoral researchers by facilitating the exchange of knowledge, methods, and materials. To this end, ENMIX Workshops and ENMIX Young Scientist Meetings play a vital role in achieving ENMIX’s mission.

Under the theme “Advanced Nanoporous Materials for Industrial Leadership,” 9^th ENMIX Workshop aimed to highlight the latest scientific achievements from the participating research groups and strengthen collaborations among ENMIX partners.

The 9^th ENMIX Workshop featured three plenary sessions with world-renowned researchers: João Rocha from CICECO/University of Aveiro, Eleni Iliopoulou from CPERI/CERTH, Thessaloniki, and Atsushi Urakawa from TU Delft; and two invited talks: Alexandre Ferreira from the University of Porto and Petar Djinovic from the National Institute of Chemistry, Ljubljana.

Additionally, the 11^th ENMIX Young Scientist Meeting, organized by Charlotte Simms (University of Antwerp), José Luis del Río Rodríguez (Instituto de Tecnología Química, Universitat Politècnica de València) and Aljaž Škrjanc (National Institute of Chemistry, Slovenia), also took place on September 11, 2024, at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto.

The XLIII Iberian Adsorption Meeting (RIA43) took place from September 1^st to 4^th, 2024, at the Cupertino de Miranda Foundation in Porto, marking a successful return to the city after two decades. The event gathered leading researchers from around the world for three days of plenary talks, keynote presentations, oral communications, and poster sessions, focusing on the latest innovations and advancements in adsorption science and technology.

Promising young researchers were recognized, with Rafael Dias (LSRE-LCM) receiving the 1st Prize and Paulo Carmo (LSRE-LCM) earning 3rd Prize in the poster competition. Additionally, Adriano Henrique (LSRE-LCM) was awarded the Juan De Dios López González Award for the best doctoral thesis, titled "Upgrading of Total Isomerisation Processes with Metal-Organic Frameworks".

The LSRE-LCM research group expresses its gratitude to the members who contributed to the RIA Organizing Committee: Alexandre Ferreira, Ana Mafalda Ribeiro, Manuel Fernando Pereira, Paulo Carmo, Albertina Rios, Diogo Rodrigues, and the dedicated Local Committee team: Rute Seabra, Isabella Corrêa, Rafael Dias, Ana Pereira, Cristiana Gomes, Bruno Castro, Mariana Bessa, Inês Rodrigues, Beatriz Silva, Luana Queiroz, Guilherme Amaral, and Rui Matias.

LSRE-LCM extends its thanks to all speakers, participants, and sponsors for their contributions, making the 43^rd Iberian Adsorption Meeting an outstanding success.
