The objectives of ISMAR are to advance and disseminate knowledge of the principles, recent developments and applications of magnetic resonance in physics, chemistry biology, medicine and other disciplines; to foster scientific interaction among magnetic resonance spectroscopists throughout the world; and to engage in any lawful activities which further these ends.
ISMAR is dedicated to representing, acknowledging and supporting magnetic resonance researchers worldwide without bias related to geography, cultural differences, race, gender, personal identity or economic factors.
ISMAR is governed by an elected Council that includes its Executive Committee. It follows the ISMAR Constitution in its proceedings. The Council consists of 20 to 40 members who represent the different subfields of magnetic resonance.
The ISMAR Executive Committee conducts the day-to-day affairs of ISMAR and consists of the President, the immediate Past-President, the Vice-President, the Secretary-General, and the Treasurer.
If your own work involves magnetic resonance, and you are not already an ISMAR member, we encourage you to join ISMAR and
As one of the first initiatives to unite Austria’s NMR community, the meeting will focus on biomolecular solution and solid-state NMR, highlighting applications in structural biology, drug discovery, and materials science, while fostering collaboration and networking.
This pedagogical meeting is aimed at students and postdocs in solid-state NMR as well as more senior scientists in related fields who are interested in entering this vibrant field. Our goals are to provide a focused week of teaching of the core concepts and practices in the increasingly multifaceted and complex field of biological solid-state NMR spectroscopy, and to encourage information sharing among different laboratories. Topics to be covered include: Basics of solid-state NMR: orientation-dependent NMR frequencies, MAS, tensors and rotations, density operator and its time evolution, decoupling and recoupling techniques, and average Hamiltonian theory Multidimensional correlation spectroscopy, non-uniform sampling, techniques for resonance assignment and measurement of structural restraints in biomolecules Paramagnetic solid-state NMR techniques Techniques for enhancing sensitivity of solid-state NMR: dynamic nuclear polarization and 1H detection Solid-state NMR techniques for measuring molecular motion Solid-state NMR techniques for structural studies of oriented membrane proteins Solid-state NMR spectra simulations in SPINEVOLUTION Beyond spin 1/2: NMR of quadrupolar nuclei Basics of NMR probe design In addition to lectures, problem sets and discussion sessions will be given at the meeting.
ISMAR sponsors a series of on-line meetings about current topics in magnetic resonance, called “Conversations on Magnetic Resonance”.

Membership in ISMAR connects you to the large magnetic resonance research community and allows you to contribute to the overall vitality of magnetic research.
Membership also entitles you to vote for ISMAR Council and Executive Committee members, nominate your colleagues for Fellowship in ISMAR, and vote on occasional amendments to the ISMAR Constitution.
The International Society of Magnetic Resonance (ISMAR) is the unique worldwide scientific organization that represents the entire range of the important research field of magnetic resonance (MR), in particular nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These and further MR methods are used as main research tools in a very wide range of fields including Physics, Chemistry, Life Sciences, Materials Research and Medicine.
