SPICA 2026, FHNW School of Life Sciences

The Symposium on Preparative and Industrial Chromatography and Allied Techniques is a unique multi-disciplinary forum for expert scientists working in fundamental research and practical applications of preparative separation sciences in the domains of chemistry, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, polymers, natural products, food, and fragrances.

Presentations by highly renowned scientists from academia and industry will give a comprehensive view on the latest scientific advancements and industrial challenges and opportunities, which will be demonstrated with case studies. Conference themes cover the whole spectrum of transformative solutions across therapeutic development, process intensification, digitalisation, and sustainability.

Training workshops, free vendor seminars, poster sessions and a commercial exhibition are also main features of the symposium. To give visibility to the younger scientists of our community, the new SPICA Slam format will also be part of the programme.

We invite researchers, technologists, and industry professionals to submit abstracts and join us in shaping the future of separation science.

• Abstract submission for oral communication and the SPICA slam is open until May 21, 2026.
• Abstracts for posters can be submitted until August 20, 2026.
• Submissions for the SPICA Tube video contest are now possible until September 23, 2026!
