Today is the day: the 60th Dutch #NMRDG meeting bringing together the magnetic resonance community of the Netherlands. This time hosted at Radboud University in Nijmegen. See: sac.kncv.nl/nmr #nmrchat #epr #ssnmr Huge thanks to the local organizers at Radboud and to our sponsors.

Save the date (for Dutch NMR community and its friends): this year we have the 60th #NMRDG symposium. To recognize it is the 60th, it will be an extra special event, hosted in Nijmegen at Radboud University. More info to follow, but mark the date in your calendars now: Friday Oct 31st 2025
