The 21st international PhD Seminar on Chromatographic Separation Science is organized by the Advanced Separations Processes Group and Erlangen Center for Interface Research and Catalysis from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg and takes place at Forschungscampus Waischenfeld from June 22 – 25, 2026.
SoCSS is a seminar dedicated to the presentation and discussion of research work in the field of chromatography and related techniques. Participants have the opportunity to present their work and expand their professional networks. The event is expected to attract young researchers from the relevant field worldwide. The exchange with like-minded individuals and the established network will be beneficial for their future development as emerging experts.
The presentations cover a wide range of topics related to innovative research, new technologies, and development areas in the following fields:
- Process development, intensification, and scale-up
- High-throughput processes (HTP) and solutions
- Continuous processing
- Modeling, simulation, and optimization of chromatography
- Model-based process design and control
- Machine learning
- Liquid-liquid chromatography (LLC)
- 3D-printed stationary phases
- Novel separation/interaction techniques
- Method development
- Process Analytical Technology (PAT)
- Analytics
- Process development
- Digitalization and modeling
We are looking forward to meeting you in Waischenfeld!
The Organizing Committee: Jan-Christoph Domagala, Céline Kohl, Pia Weiner & Johannes Wieczorek
