Riva Chromatography 2026 – Leading Separation Science Symposium

International Symposium on Capillary Chromatography & GC×GC in Riva del Garda 

The 44th International Symposium on Capillary Chromatography (ISCC) together with the 21st GC×GC Symposium is one of the most important scientific gatherings in analytical chemistry, taking place 17–22 May 2026 at the Congress Centre in Riva del Garda, Italy. 

This six-day conference reunites researchers, industry experts, and instrument developers from around the world to discuss cutting-edge advances in capillary gas chromatography (GC), comprehensive two-dimensional GC (GC×GC), nano- and capillary liquid chromatography (LC), and hyphenated techniques such as mass spectrometry coupling.

The scientific program features plenary and keynote lectures, short courses (including GC×GC fundamentals), poster sessions, and an exhibition showcasing the latest chromatographic instruments and technologies. Emphasis in 2026 will be on data analytics, sustainable technologies, and practical applications across environmental, pharmaceutical, industrial, and food/flavour analysis.

Beyond formal sessions, the event offers valuable opportunities for networking and collaboration, including social events where scientists can connect informally against the scenic Lake Garda backdrop.
