The Horváth Laboratory of Bioscience Sciences, at University of Innsbruck, Austria together with the Connecticut Separation Science Council invites you to the

8^th Csaba Horváth Medal Award
Symposium
April 14-15, 2008
in Innsbruck, Austria


Motto: Focusing on building a bridge in Separation
Science between Academia and Industry

András Guttman, Symposium Chair
on behalf of the Organizing Committee

This award symposium series was initiated in year 2000 by the late Csaba Horváth of Yale University, one of the greatest pioneers in the field of separation sciences. The Symposium alternates yearly between US and Europe.

The 2008 symposium program will feature the two award presentation of Prof. Barry L. Karger and Prof. Pier Giorgio Righetti. The program will include plenary lectures and oral presentations from leading industrial scientists, as well as a pre-symposium short courses on practical approaches in liquid phase separation methods.

Currently papers are being accepted for Oral and Poster presentations on the topics of

• Column Chromatography (single and multi-dimensional)
• Hyphenated Techniques
• Sample Preparation
• Instrumentation
• Chiral Separations
• Industrial Applications
• Other Liquid Phase Separation Methods


Important feature of the symposium is the exhibition by numerous vendors.

In 1999, during the Connecticut Separation Science Council Annual Board Meeting in the Mason Lab at Yale University, Csaba first suggested the establishment of a CSSC Medal in order to lend greater stature to the CSSC. The CSSC minutes of that meeting make note that the medal shall:

"… be awarded to a recognized person in the separation science whose contributions to the field has exemplified and will continue to provide for the advancement of separation science in the future.”

The CSSC Board decided that the first awardee of the Csaba Horváth Medal should be Professor Csaba Horváth on the occasion of his 70th birthday. On January 25, 2000 they presented the first CSSC Csaba Horváth medal to Csaba himself as a surprise. Since then, numerous distinguished scientists have been awarded.

Second medal	Dr. Leslie Ettre	March 27, 2001
Third medal	Dr. William S. Hancock	March 22, 2002
Fourth medal	Prof. Harold McNair	May 9, 2003
Fifth medal	Prof. Phyllis Brown	April 30, 2004
Sixth medal	Dr. Lloyd Snyder	April 9, 2005
Seventh medal	Prof. Eli Grushka	April 19, 2007

We are looking forward to present this year’s awards to Prof. Barry L. Karger and Prof. Pier Giorgio Righetti.
