On behalf of the Scientific and Organizing Committees, we are pleased to invite researchers and practitioners of high-performance thin-layer chromatography to participate in the 25^th International Symposium for High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC 2022), the worldwide symposium for HPTLC, which will be held from 28^th June until 1^st July 2022 in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

The symposium will cover new advances and challenges in the field of high-performance thin-layer chromatography, hyphenated techniques and applications. The scientific program will include invited lectures, oral (also young researchers) and poster presentations. The exhibition will form an integral part of the Symposium and will be located in the venue halls.

HPTLC 2022 will provide an excellent opportunity for young scientists, renowned researchers and industrial partners to exchange knowledge and build long-lasting friendships that may blossom into fruitful joint adventures.

For the first time, all participants are invited to participate in a special creative competition called CHROM-ART. Interesting HPTLC plate images, chromatograms of unusual shapes and other images created during chemical analysis will be presented in a CHROM-ART gallery from an artistic point of view.
