44th International Symposium on Capillary Chromatography and 21st GCxGC Symposium

The 44th International Symposium on Capillary Chromatography (ISCC), the premier meeting for pressure and electrodriven microcolumn separations and related techniques, will be held May 17 – 22, 2026 in the Congress Centre, Riva del Garda, Italy.

The program will include plenary lectures, keynote lectures by young scientists, prominently featured poster presentations, an instrument exhibition displaying the latest instrumental innovations, and a highly attractive social program offering opportunities to meet with world-renown scientists.

The 21st GCxGC Symposium will be organized jointly with the ISCC meeting to allow scientists to attend both meetings. The symposium will start with a short course on Sunday May 17 covering the fundamentals and applications of comprehensive GCxGC and with a plenary session on Monday May 18. Key-note lectures and posters will be included in the program of the ISCC meeting.

This year particular emphasis will be directed to all Comprehensive Separation Technologies and MS Hyphenation and to capillary chromatography and 2D GC with various forms of MS from unit-mass to high resolution, and from single to hybrid analyzers, nano and capillary LC, miniaturized sample preparation by introducing a strong focus on data analytics and sustainable technology while emphasizing practical applications.

Researchers in all areas relevant to the subjects of the symposia, are invited to submit abstracts. As traditional for the Riva meetings, most presentations will be in poster format and the scientific committee will select contributions for oral presentation.

Exhibitors and sponsors are encouraged to participate by reserving booth space and becoming a sponsor.

Looking forward to meeting you in Riva del Garda,

Prof. L. Mondello – Chairman RIVA 2026

Prof. P. Sandra – Honorary Chairman RIVA 2026
