It is the first time that this conference will be held in Italy.

We will maintain the tradition of this conference by organizing an exciting meeting in a hospitable setting that will be conducive to business, scientific and social exchange.

We will cover both the fundamental and practical aspects of separation science, with the main focus on new highly relevant trends that are emerging in this field.
In particular we will encourage younger scientists to make contributions in topical scientific sessions.

Situated in the northern part of Italy, Milan is a vibrant cosmopolitan center where the various cultures of northern European and Mediterranean countries merge. Milan has a lot to offer: art museums, history, opera (La Scala), music, fashion, design, culinary delights and business opportunities.

Milan is easy to reach by all means of transport, but is one of the most accessible cities in Europe in terms of air links through 3 international airports (Malpensa, Linate and Orio al Serio). There are regular direct rail links to all major Italian cities: Bologna (1 hour), Florence (1,30 hour), Rome (3 hours), Naples (4 hours) to name just a few. Furthermore, Milan has the largest public transport network which let people travel around the city urban community and the region easily and quickly.

This event will give you the opportunity to focus on the newest scientific trends and professional developments in our field in an atmosphere of Italian hospitality and the Italian expression of European union.
