Dear colleagues and friends,
On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to invite you to participate in the 11th International Conference on Magnetic Resonance Microscopy (ICMRM), August 14~18, Changping, Beijing, China.
The 11th ICMRM will follow the fine tradition that has been established in 1991 starting with the very first ICMRM in Heidelberg. The conference will be devoted to the latest developments in NMR methods, equipment, and applications of spatially resolved NMR techniques; it is also designed to provide a platform to enhance scientific communication between industry and academia, and between researchers from countries spanning the globe.
We have received more than 130 abstracts from many of the fine NMR laboratories worldwide, and also invited 22 renowned scientists to give presentations on various aspects of NMR, including Sir Paul Callaghan, Prof. Warren S. Warren, Prof. Axel Haase, Prof. Eiichi Fukushima, Prof. Bernhard Blumich and Prof. Bruce Balcom. In addition, more than 20 organizations, including CNPC, Shell, Niumag, Huanding, Bruker, Agilent, Oxford Instruments, JSR, and K. C. Wong Education Foundation, Hong Kong, etc. have agreed to provide financial support to this conference. We sincerely appreciate the generous donations from our industry friends and the enthusiastic assistance from the China University of Petroleum (CUP) and other Chinese research institutes. We would also like to thank in advance all the delegates and exhibitors for their interest in presenting their highquality work. We believe that all our attendees will greatly benefit from this conference.
We, the faculty and graduate students from CUP, are honored to organize the 11th ICMRM. CUP specializes in petroleumrelated researches and education and is one of the best industry-oriented universities in China. NMR is widely used for petroleum and natural gas exploration and recovery in well logging, and in core analysis to measure rock porosity and permeability, or to identify pore fluids. We are delighted to incorporate contributions from the Society of Core Analysts and have created a Joint Topic Conference on NMR in Well Logging and Core Analysis, and will specially focus on unconventional oil and gas core analysis.
This year, ICMRM will for the first time be held in China. In addition to the scientific program, we hope you will enjoy your trip to Beijing and China. Chinese civilization has endured and prospered for thousands of years, and Beijing has been the capital city for nearly 900 years. It is a city of both old and young at same time. Young with inexhaustible energy and an open attitude for new developments, it is one of the greatest cities in the world. We have arranged a wonderful excursion to show you the old and the young faces of Beijing on this special occasion.
To conclude this welcome note, I would like to quote Confucius, a famous Chinese philosopher, “How happy we are to have friends from afar!” We look forward to welcoming you to Beijing this August. For more information, please check at http:∥icmrm11.cup.edu.cn.
