Every year, the GERM (Group of Magnetic Resonance Studies) brings together the French community of researchers, students and engineers from academia and industry active in the field of magnetic resonance, by allowing them to access and showcase recent developments in NMR, MRI and EPR in all their diversity. The aim of the 2025 conference is to create a fruitful occasion of discussing the most recent developments and applications of the French MR community to many diverse fields of chemistry. All the main MR fields will be equally represented by 10 invited speakers (already confirmed, see list below) and by 20 promoted participant’s contributions. The conference will provide a great impetus to the French MR community and it will be a perfect occasion for fostering new exchanges. An important aim of the GERM association – as of this conference – is the promotion and education of young scientists, to whom a special attention will be paid, by encouraging and facilitating their attendance, the possibility of delivering oral/poster communications and the opportunity of receiving competitive awards. In particular, during the 2025 conference in Autrans, in addition to the traditional “best oral communication” and “best poster” award, the GERM association will award the first “GERM PhD thesis award”. This prize is intended for a young researcher having defended his·her PhD between 01/01/2023 and 31/12/2024 in France in the field of magnetic resonance (NMR, EPR, MRI). Along the same lines, the panel of invited speakers (see below) reflects the intent of the conference to support young and promising French PI’s to gain further visibility in the community. The invited speakers will cover topics related to cutting-edge MR research, consisting in the latest methodological developments in NMR, EPR and MRI and very innovative applications of MR to the understanding of crucial topics in biochemistry and biology, human health and materials. Furthermore, the promoted oral sessions will be open to the most significant contributions in MR applications and developments coming from the conference participants, especially young scientists.
