About Euromar

Euromar is a subdivision of Groupement Ampere, that organizes annual meetings on the subject of Magnetic Resonance, usually in the first week of July. The meetings are held in different locations within Europe, and cover all aspects of Magnetic Resonance, including NMR, ESR and MRI. This page introduces Euromar, with links to more detailed information.

Prior to 2005, there had been three large European magnetic resonance meetings:
The European Experimental NMR Conference (EENC), a body loosely inspired by the very successful ENC held annually in the USA, which met every 2 years; the Ampere Congress, which held meetings every two years and focused more on physics oriented aspects of magnetic resonance; and the international meeting organized by the British NMR Discussion Group in alternation with EENC, which focused more on chemical aspects. It was agreed to merge the three meetings together and hold a major single annual congresses covering all aspects of magnetic resonance. This unified conferences were to be called Euromar, standing for EUROpean MAgnetic Resonance. Euromar is a subdivision of Groupement Ampere, which means that its finances are held in an Ampere account, and Euromar reports to Ampere. Each EUROMAR conference participant becomes a member of the Ampère society, with the Ampère membership fee included in the conference registration. Euromar has a formal set of Statutes, listed here.

The first joint meeting of the three bodies described above that was held under the name Euromar took place in

2005 Veldhoven, The Netherlands.

Euromar Committees

Euromar is run by a Board of Trustees. Trustees are appointed for a three-year term and can be re-elected once, giving a maximum six years membership. The Board agrees on a location for the forthcoming conference and appoints a Program Committee, consisting of some local members and some members of the Board. This body is responsible for organizing the scientific program. In addition there is a Local Organizing Committee, which deals with local organizational issues. Euromar has no subscription or annual membership fee, but has a small fund to support the annual meetings. The current BOT members, as of September 2023, are the following:

Anne Lesage (Chairwoman)
Marc Baldus (Treasurer)
Sabine Hediger (Secretary)
Roberta Pierattelli - Daniel Topgaard - Melanie Britton - Luisa Ciobanu -

JMR/JMRO Young Scientist Award

Elsevier sponsors four Journal of Magnetic Resonance Young Scientist Awards at the annual EUROMAR conference, consisting each of a check for US$ 500, a one year electronic subscription to the Journal of Magnetic Resonance, and a Certificate. The awards is given to graduate students or post-doctoral fellows, whose unsolicited submissions for an oral presentation have been selected based on excellence by the EUROMAR scientific program committee. Before their oral presentations, the awardees are announced as winners of the "Journal of Magnetic Resonance" by the session chair or an editor of JMR/JMRO.

More information about the JMR/JMRO awards at EUROMAR 2024 in Bilbao here

MRC Wiley Prize

The Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry Award for Young Scientists sponsored by John Wiley & Sons through its Journal "Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry" has been awarded from 2006 to 2016 to outstanding researchers under the age of 40 working with NMR spectroscopy in analytical chemistry within industry or academia in any part of the world.
