<p><strong>We are pleased to announce the following awards that will be presented at RIVA 2026.</strong></p><h4><strong>MARCEL GOLAY AWARD</strong></h4><p>The <strong>Marcel Golay award</strong> was instituted in honor of Marcel Jules Eduard Golay, the inventor of capillary columns.</p><p>Dr. Golay, one of the <strong>pioneers of gas chromatography</strong>, introduced the theory of dispersion in open tubular columns (capillary columns) and demonstrated their efficacy at the second International Symposium on Gas Chromatography in 1958. Dr. Golay joined PerkinElmer in 1962 as a senior scientist, and invented the Golay infrared sensor, which at the time was the most sensitive infrared sensor available.</p><p>Golay’s invention helped establish PerkinElmer as a major source of infrared technology. He also extended the theory of preparative columns and examined the properties of various chromatography sampling systems. The open tubular gas chromatography column is the most popular analytical gas chromatography column in use today. Dr. Golay worked as was a senior scientist at PerkinElmer up until his death in 1989. The Marcel Golay award is presented to a scientist in recognition of a lifetime of achievement in capillary chromatography.</p><p><strong>Carlo Bicchi</strong> is Full Professor at the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Turin since 1990. His research focuses on the development of advanced analytical technologies for the study of biologically active specialized metabolites in plant matrices, including essential oils, terpenoids, phenolic compounds, and alkaloids, as well as on aroma profiling and fingerprinting of major industrial food crops such as coffee, cocoa, hazelnuts, olive oil, and tea. His work encompasses all aspects of sample preparation, advanced chromatographic techniques, and chemometric methods for profiling and fingerprinting. Prof. Bicchi has actively promoted the development of analytical sciences through international collaboration, mentoring, and participation in scientific boards, conferences, and editorial activities.</p><p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Carlo_Bicchi_a0672a9dbb.jpg" alt="ISCC &amp; GCxGC Symposium: Carlo Bicchi" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Carlo_Bicchi_a0672a9dbb.jpg 156w," sizes="100vw" width="285" height="285"></p><h4><strong>GIORGIO NOTA AWARD</strong></h4><p>The <strong>Giorgio Nota Award</strong> was instituted in honor of Giorgio Nota, who first introduced open tubular LC.</p><p>The Giorgio Nota award is presented to a scientist in recognition of a lifetime of achievement in capillary liquid chromatography.</p><p>The <strong>Giorgio Nota Award 2026 is sponsored by </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/companies/325"><strong>Waters</strong></a>.</p><p><strong>Fernando Mauro Lanças</strong> is a full Professor at the Institute of Chemistry of the University of São Paulo at São Carlos, Brazil, where he &nbsp;founded and currently coordinates the Chromatography Laboratory.
