Important dates
Submission of contributions
Presentation types
All individuals involved in any aspect of analytical chemistry research are cordially invited to submit one or more abstracts for oral or poster presentations.
- Oral presentations
Oral presentations are scheduled for 15 minutes including discussion (12 minutes for the presentation + 3 minutes for Q&A) and keynotes for 20 minutes including discussion. Oral presentations will be supported by a video projector connected to a PC. Slide projectors or overhead projectors are not available. Slides should be prepared in .pptx or .pdf format, using a 16:9 aspect ratio. Authors of oral presentations are requested to deliver their speech in Italian and prepare their slides in English to assist non-Italian participants. Apple users are advised to bring all necessary adapters with them. - Poster presentations
Three poster sessions are scheduled. At least one author for each poster must be present during their assigned session to discuss the work. Posters must be written in English to assist non-Italian participants. the maximum space allocated for each poster is A0 format (84.1 x 118.9 cm) (width x height). Materials for mounting the posters will be provided on-site by the organisers.
The preferred presentation format (oral or poster) must be specified in the submission form. Those selecting an oral presentation must also indicate their relevant session. Given the limited number of oral slots, authors may be invited to change their presentation status from oral to poster at the sole discretion of the Scientific Committee.
Abstract preparation and submission
The official language of the Congress is Italian; however, to ensure international visibility for the scientific content published online, abstracts must be written in English and submitted by 29 May 2026.
From Saturday 30 May 2026 until Friday 26 June 2026, scientific contributions will only be considered for "last-minute" poster presentations.

Acceptance
Following evaluation by the Scientific Committee, formal notification of the acceptance of contributions will be provided by 30 June 2026.
For the publication in the official programme and in the Proceedings of the Congress (with ISBN), at least one of the authors must register by 20 June 2026.
Registrations

Fees
The "Reduced", "Standard SCI member", and "Non-SCI member" fees include participation in all scientific sessions and the sightseeing tour, congress materials, the welcome cocktail, coffee breaks, lunches, and the gala social dinner. For other options, please refer to the specifications below (*** and ****).
* The reduced rate is reserved for PhD students, scholarship holders, research fellows, and RTD A/RTT (not B) researchers at universities, provided they are SCI members in good standing.
** The non-SCI member fee includes the SCI membership fee for the year 2026. This benefit is not applicable to 2025 members whose 2026 status is not in good standing. Those registering with this fee will receive an invitation in December 2025 to complete the online form to finalise their SCI membership.
*** The daily registration fee does not include participation in the social dinner (the dinner can be booked as an integral part of the registration form and, in this case, involves an additional payment of € 80).
**** The accompanying person fee includes participation in the welcome cocktail, the social dinner, and the social excursion.
Grants
A total of 30 grants are available to encourage the participation of deserving young researchers in the congress. These grants will cover the registration fee, which will be paid directly by the Analytical Chemistry Division.
The allocation process will involve a comparative selection based on qualifications, conducted by the Scientific Committee.
The deadline for submitting applications is 21 May 2026.
The awarding of the grant will be communicated to the winner via email by 10 June 2026.
The requirements and procedures for submitting an application can be found on the website of the Analytical Chemistry Division [ITA].
