International Conference on MR Microscopy (ICMRM) Beijing 2011

The ICMRM conference will be held in Beijing August 14-18 at the China University of Petroleum (CUP). The venue is the CUP conference centre and adjacent conference hotel. The conference hotel is large enough that all attendees may be housed on site at very reasonable cost. The main lecture hall, exhibitor venue, coffee break area, poster display, and extra rooms are mere meters away in the attached Conference Centre which is a modern two story building, with an on-site restaurant. Prof. Lizhi Xiao, the conference chair, has been able to block book the entire conference centre and hotel for the duration of our meeting.

Prof Xiao and his local organizing committee have arranged the wednesday conference excursion to visit city centre Beijing including the Forbidden City with the conference dinner to be held in the Great Hall of the People in Tienanmen Square. More details are provided concerning the program, venue and excursion on the conference web site which is found at http://icmrm11.cup.edu.cn/

The second circular for the conference is available for download at http://nmr900.ca/nmr_news.html#ICMRM11

Deadline for Abstract Submission April 30, 2011

The objectives of the ICMRM are to communicate recent developments in high-resolution, spatially resolved magnetic resonance methods and applications. Meeting strength stems from the eclectic background of participants and a diverse venue that has traditionally focused on non-clinical applications in science and engineering areas. The 1st ICMRM was held in 1991 in Heidelberg and was originally known as the "Heidelberg Conference". It is the biannual conference of the Division of Spatially Resolved Magnetic Resonance of the Ampere Society.
