Research
GSMS coordinates research along shared themes. Member groups at universities and institutes join a program, share methods and facilities, and publish in the Society journals.
This research program focuses on the utilization and valorization of sustainable, underutilized, and abandoned natural resources to develop eco-friendly alternatives to everyday consumer products. Target applications include plastic packaging, membrane filtration systems, and other single-use or petroleum-based materials that pose significant environmental concerns.
This research program focuses on the design, development, and application of sustainable materials for water purification, air quality improvement, and soil remediation. By leveraging natural, bio-derived, and recycled resources, we aim to engineer high-performance adsorbents, photocatalysts, and membrane systems that provide effective environmental remediation solutions while minimizing secondary pollution.
This research program is devoted to the development of low-carbon, energy-efficient, and environmentally responsible building materials as alternatives to conventional construction products. By utilizing natural fibers, industrial by-products, and bio-based binders, we aim to create durable, high-performance construction materials that significantly reduce the environmental footprint of the built environment.
Projects

Projects under each program will appear here with their partner institutions, duration and outputs once the first cohort is approved by the board. Member groups can propose a project under any of the programs.
Facilities and partners
The Society has no laboratories of its own. Research is carried out in member institutions, starting with the materials laboratories at Institut Teknologi Sumatera.
Host institution
Bandar Lampung. Synthesis and characterisation of sustainable materials; home of the Society secretariat.
Partner institutions
Collaborating groups publish in the Society journals and co-host events. Partner institutions are listed as agreements are signed.
