AMS Session in ICOM 2023

14th Conference of Aseanian Membrane Society (AMS 14)

Message from the President

I am truly honored and delighted as a new President for the 2024-2025 term of the Aseanian Membrane Society (AMS). I extend my deepest gratitude to the AMS council, advisory board, and all our esteemed members for entrusting me with this important role. I also wish to express my heartfelt appreciation to my predecessor, Professor Rong Wang, for her dedicated service and invaluable contributions.

Since its inception in 2002, focusing on Korea and Japan, the AMS has expanded its reach to include China, Taiwan, Australia, Singapore, India, and Malaysia. We are now poised to welcome new member nations such as Thailand and Indonesia. In collaboration with NAMS and EMS, AMS has been instrumental in forming the World Association of Membrane Societies (WA-MS), a global organization dedicated to uniting the world in the field of membrane science and technology, especially in the post-Covid-19 era.

The AMS holds annual meetings in member countries, except in years when the International Congress on Membrane and Membrane Processes (ICOM) takes place. In 2024, our esteemed gathering will be held in Nanjing, China, followed by Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 2025. In 2028, we will have an AMS meeting in Japan to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Japanese Membrane Society in Japan.

Over the past two decades, AMS has evolved into a prestigious platform, attracting diverse scholars, researchers, and industry leaders from various countries and continents. It has become a vital forum for sharing groundbreaking research and insights into membrane technology.

As the new President of AMS (2024-), I am immensely proud to lead such an internationally respected organization. I am committed to fostering an environment where researchers can share their findings and collaborate on global challenges. I will strive to enhance cooperation and coexistence among member nations, and I humbly ask for your continued support and encouragement.

Thank you for your unwavering dedication to our collective mission.

Sang Yong Nam

President of the Aseanian Membrane Society (2024-2025)
