Multidisciplinary Workshop number 3
pNMR : from rags to riches
Challenges and potentials of NMR on paramagnetic molecules
4th, 5th July 2015, Prague, Czech Republic
EUROMAR 2015 SATELLITE event
Deadline to register : Friday 26th June 2015 *** REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED ***
In line with the 2013 Chamonix event and last year’s Cambridge one, our third annual workshop will this time be held as a satellite event of the EUROMAR Conference.
The 2015 Euromar website is available here.
Participation
There are no formal registration fees for this scientific workshop. It is organised as part of the EU Marie Curie Initial Training Network project “pNMR”. However there is a limited number of participant spaces available. Registration can be found on this page further down.
The hotel costs will be at the expense of the participant.
Location
The workshop will be hosted in the same place as the EUROMAR Conference, Prague Congress Centre.
Participants will be accommodated in hotels advised by the Congress Centre on the Euromar website, and a dinner will take place on Saturday 4th July in Prague City Centre at Francouzská restaurace (www.francouzskarestaurace.cz/en/)
