Dear Colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 2nd International Online Conference on Separations (IOCS 2027), organized by the MDPI journal Separations (ISSN: 2297-8739, Impact Factor 3.5). This fully online conference will be held from 19 to 21 October 2027, providing an accessible and inclusive platform for researchers, scientists, and professionals worldwide to exchange knowledge and discuss the latest advances in the field of separation science and technology.
IOCS 2027 aims to promote academic exchange and collaboration across the broad and rapidly developing field of separations. By bringing together researchers from diverse disciplines, the conference seeks to facilitate the dissemination of innovative research, encourage interdisciplinary cooperation, and advance the development of novel separation methodologies, materials, and technologies addressing current scientific and industrial challenges.
We are pleased to announce the conference sessions and warmly invite researchers to submit their contributions:
S1. Analysis of Natural Products and Pharmaceuticals.
S2. Environmental, Industrial and Circular Economy Separation Applications.
S3. Chromatographic Techniques.
S4. Separation Engineering.
S5. Materials in Separation Science.
S6. Purification Technology.
S7. Analysis of Food and Beverages.
Participation in IOCS 2027 provides numerous opportunities for researchers to engage with the global scientific community. The fully online format enables participants to attend from anywhere in the world, eliminating travel constraints and associated costs. All submissions will undergo careful peer review by experts in the field, offering valuable feedback to enhance the quality and impact of your research. Registration and participation are free of charge, and authors will be eligible for a publication discount, providing an opportunity to further disseminate their research and enhance its academic visibility.
Throughout the conference, live Q&A sessions will provide opportunities for meaningful discussions and direct interaction with speakers, researchers, and experts from around the world. In addition, outstanding contributions may be recognized through conference awards, celebrating high-quality research and innovative achievements in separation science and related fields.
We sincerely look forward to welcoming you to IOCS 2027 and to exploring new frontiers in separation science and technology together.
Kind regards,
Prof. Grzegorz Boczkaj
