Abstract
From 12 September to 16 September 2010, the International Symposium on Chromatography (ISC) celebrated its 28th event in Valencia (Spain). This event was organized by the Spanish Association of Chromatography and Related Techniques (SECyTA) and returned to Spain 36 years after the tenth symposium had been celebrated in Barcelona in 1974. The present symposium was attended by 570 registered participants. About 500 communications were given, 122 of them in oral form within four parallel sessions. In addition, there was a commercial exhibition involving 22 companies. Many of these gave vendor sessions providing information on their latest technical developments in chromatography. Numerous interesting lectures were given by invited speakers such as Georges Guiochon and Lois Ann Beaver from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (USA), Ian D. Wilson from AstraZeneca, Macclesfield (UK), Boguslaw Buszewski from Nicolaus Copernicus University, Torun (Poland), Alejandro Cifuentes from the Institute of Industrial Fermentations (IFI-CSIC), Madrid (Spain), Salvatore Fanali from the Institute of Chemical Methodologies (CNR) Monterotondo Scalo (Rome, Italy), Vaclav Kasicka from the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, Prague (Czech Republic), Ryszard Lobinski from the University of Pau and Pays de l’Adour, Pau (France), Amadeo R. Fernandez-Alba from the University of Almeria, Almeria (Spain) and Jean-Luc Veuthey from the University of Lausanne– University of Geneva (Switzerland). Several awards were given at the symposium. The Tswet & Nernst Prize on Science for Life given by the European Society for Separation Sciences (EuSSS) to two distinguished scientists was given to Guenther Bonn from the Institut fur Analytische Chemie und Radiochemie, University of Innsbruck (Austria), and Vadim A. Davankov from the Nesmeyanov Institute of Elemental Organic Compounds, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow (Russia). The EuSSS Award to a scientist under 35 years old who has made leading contributions to chromatography and related techniques was given to Maria Ibanez Martinez from University Jaume I, Castellon de la Plana (Spain). In addition, SECyTA gave the Jose Antonio Garcia Dominguez Award for the best oral communication to M. Nocun and J.T. Andersson from the Institute of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry, University of Munster (Germany). Poster awards were also given, such as the Jose Antonio Garcia Dominguez Award for the best poster to E.B. Pashkova, A.V. Pirogov and O.A. Shpigun from Moscow State University, Moscow (Russia), and for the second best poster to O. Hernandez-Hernandez, R. Lebron, J. Quintanilla-Lopez, M.L. Sanz and F.J. Moreno from the Spanish Council for Scientific Research (CSIC), Madrid (Spain). Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry (Springer) was also present, and three Springer poster awards were given to S. Wiese, T. Teutenberg, M.A. Jochmann, D.M. Published in the special issue Advances in Analytical Separations with Guest Editors Yolanda Pico and Joan O. Grimalt.
