The 20-Year Jubilee of the Interdivisional Group of Separation Science of the Italian Chemical Society

This paper illustrates the origin, mission, organization and main activities of Interdivisional Group Separation Science (Gruppo Interdivisionale di Scienza delle Separazioni, GISS) Italian Chemical Society in occasion twentieth anniversary this organization, whose mission is to promote disseminate knowledge on all aspects separation science facilitate strong peer-to-peer relationships. GISS originates from a discussion group, also belonging (SCI), having similar finality same promoter (the pioneer Chromatography Prof. Arnaldo Liberti), but less extended scientific interests than GISS, since it was mainly focused liquid gas chromatography. The span theoretical practical cover key topics requiring high-performance techniques carry out advanced investigations and/or solve challenging analytical problems. panoramic view includes synthetic review carried its foundation, which comprises fast-track meetings, participation, promotion national international congresses, sponsorship participation grants for young trainees Ph.D. students, recognition scientists who have made continue make an outstanding contribution science, as well evidenced their attitude significant studies field science.
