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 15^th 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 13 covering the fundamentals and applications of comprehensive GCxGC and with a plenary session on Monday May 14. 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.

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