Event Preview: 2nd Green Analytical Chemistry Workshop
Key Takeaways
- The workshop fosters innovation in environmentally responsible analytical techniques, emphasizing technical excellence and environmental stewardship.
- The 2026 program encourages cross-disciplinary exchange with presentations, hands-on sessions, and networking to facilitate partnerships and innovative ideas.
The second edition of the Green Analytical Chemistry Workshop promises to be an important event to promote sustainable analytical sciences. Initially launched in 2011 as the International SBSE Workshop, this biennial gathering has evolved significantly, broadening its scope and establishing itself as a key platform within the international scientific community.
Over the past decade, the workshop has become a dynamic forum for innovation, uniting leading experts and researchers to address the growing need for environmentally responsible analytical techniques. The continued success of the event reflects the scientific community’s commitment to both technical excellence and environmental stewardship. The event will take placeon 2–3 February 2026 in Paris, France at Novotel Paris Charenton, Paris France
Building on Past Success with an Enhanced Program
The inaugural edition received highly positive feedback, inspiring the organizers to offer an even more ambitious and collaborative experience in 2026. The upcoming program has been designed to encourage cross-disciplinary exchange, blending high-level presentations with hands-on sessions and networking opportunities. This format aims to facilitate partnerships, spark innovative ideas, and translate research into real-world applications.
Attendees will engage in two full days of presentations and interactive workshops focused on cutting-edge green technologies. Each morning will feature plenary lectures from prominent scientists, followed by targeted thematic sessions and practical demonstrations. Breaks and networking moments have been strategically placed to foster informal discussions and collaborative thinking.
Key Topics and Innovations to Be Highlighted:
- Water-based chromatographic analysis
- Capillary electrophoresis with minimal reagent use
- Solvent-free and green extraction techniques
- Biodegradable natural eutectic solvents
- Sustainable fuels and green energy analysis
- Authentication of natural products
- Monitoring of emerging pollutants and microplastics
- Eco-responsible cosmetics characterization.
These topics demonstrate the potential of analytical chemistry to align with sustainable practices without compromising performance or precision.
Industry Collaboration and Strategic Partnerships
The event is supported by long-standing and new partners, including Research Institute for chromatography, Restek, F-DGsi, Leco France, Veolia, La gazette du laboratoire, Shimadzu, Metrohm, Entech Instruments, revolab, Gerstel, Skalarm, and LCGC International.
