Dear Colleagues and Friends,

On behalf of the EPRW Scientific and Organising Committee, we would like to welcome you to the 16^th edition of the European Pesticide Residue Workshop (EPRW), which will take place from 8 – 12 June 2026, at the Postillion Hotel & Convention Centre WTC in the centre of Rotterdam. We are happy to celebrate the 30^th anniversary of the EPRW in The Netherlands, where it all started in 1996, with the 1^st EPRW, in Alkmaar.

We invite you to this key event dedicated to the latest developments in pesticide residue analysis in food, monitoring and control. Join this unique opportunity to network with 400+ renowned residue experts from around the world, specialists and authorities from governmental and private laboratories, public organisations, regulatory bodies, research institutes, food producers and distributors, pesticide manufactures and all major vendors of analytical equipment and consumables.

The main program will be preceded by a pre-workshop on Monday afternoon. Late afternoon, you are all invited to the welcome reception. The scientific program on Tuesday – Friday will consist of keynote, invited, regular, and young scientists’ oral presentations (all plenary) and poster presentations displayed throughout the conference. Vendor sessions and exhibitions are an integral part of the meeting. The exhibition, poster presentations and catering will all be ideally located on the same floor, next to the lecture hall and vendor session rooms, for an optimal interaction between the participants.

Looking forward to meeting you in the vibrant and innovating city of Rotterdam for an inspiring and exiting conference in a friendly and open atmosphere.
