The Research Group on Porous Solids and Calorimetry was created in 1995 with the support of the Universidad de Los Andes (Colombia) and since its creation, it has set the following main objectives:

1. Prepare and synthesize porous materials for environmental applications.
2. Find possible applications to lignocellulosic and industrial waste to obtain porous materials that can be used in decontamination processes.
3. Seek the development of new materials and extend their applications to various areas.
4. Design and build calorimetric equipment that allows understanding the physicochemical characteristics of porous materials.

Finally, the most important thing for the Group is to train researchers with a high scientific and ethical level
