As Chairman, together with Prof. Sandra Honorary Chairman of the Riva Conference - officially known as the International Symposium on Capillary Chromatography (ISCC) and the GC×GC Symposium - We would like to personally share why this event continues to hold such a vital place in the scientific calendar.
Held in the beautiful setting of Riva del Garda, Italy, the conference has long been a hub for innovation, connection, and scientific excellence in separation science. Over the years, we have created more than just a meeting—we have built a global community. Riva offers a space where world-class scientists, industry leaders, and emerging researchers can interact freely, share knowledge, and shape the future of our field.
Beyond the lecture halls, the informal moments—coffee by the lake, spontaneous hallway discussions, shared meals—often lead to the most impactful ideas and collaborations. We are especially proud of our commitment to young scientists, providing them with fellowships, reduced fees, and a platform to shine alongside established leaders.
What makes Riva unique is its ability to blend tradition with innovation. It is a place where the latest breakthroughs in capillary gas chromatography, comprehensive two-dimensional GG, nano and capillary liquid chromatography and their coupling with mass spectrometry are presented—often for the very first time. It is a place where science moves forward, together.
We warmly invite you and your colleagues to be part of this special event. Whether as a speaker, attendee, or mentor to the next generation, your presence will help sustain the spirit of excellence and openness that defines Riva.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
