The meeting is intended for scientists at all levels of expertise in the field of polymers and nuclear magnetic resonance. Participants will have an opportunity to discuss all aspects, including fundamentals, methodologies and applications, both during and outside scheduled sessions.
Further information regarding the organizational aspects of the meeeting, poster presentations and program can be obtained from the chairs.
Poster Session: A poster session will be an integral part of the meeting and contributions are solicited. This will give attendees the opportunity to present their own work. Anyone wishing to present a poster should contact one of the organizers with title, authors and affiliations. It is anticipated that approximately 30 posters will be able to be accepted for presentation.
