Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the
14th Conference on Fast Field Cycling NMR Relaxometry
which will be organized by the CNRS – Phenix – Sorbonne Université. Please note that information is added gradually, on the official 2026 event website
The Conference will be held in the beautiful historical city of Paris, France, from Tuesday 16th to Friday 19th June 2026.
Since the first meeting, which was held in Berlin in 1998, the Fast Field Cycling NMR Relaxometry community has grown in number and interests and we’ve come a long way since then.
The past conferences have managed to strengthen the interactions among researchers from different scientific areas (chemists, physicists, engineers, biologists, physicians), which have brought advancements in the theory and the experiment and have extended the fields of application of the technique to a variety of disciplines, as materials science, earth sciences, medicine, just to cite a few.
The 14th Fast Field Cycling (FFC) NMR relaxometry conference will open its door on the 16th of June 2026 for 4 days. June 15th will be devoted to demonstrations and tests on various NMR relaxometers and benchtop NMR spectrometers (further description in sponsors page).
This FFC NMR relaxometry conference aims at opening new perspectives beyond relaxation measurements using the fast field cycling technique. It will combine and confront knowledge about:
- Field Cycling NMR
- Fast Field Cycling NMR relaxometry
- Time domain low field NMR relaxometry
- Fast field cycling MRI
- Ultra-low field MRI
- Statistical Physics applied to transport phenomena at the mesoscale
Join us in advancing science in the fields of NMR relaxometry, low-field MRI, and statistical physics!
The topics developed during FFC NMR relaxometry conference, also includes applications of techniques in material science (polymer, building staff, colloidal suspensions,…), biology (proteins, contrast agent, biological tissue, medicine,…), food (characterization, fraud control,…), energy (electrolytes, battery, oil, catalysis, fuel cell,…), cultural heritage (paint, 3D porous art works, …), environment (clay deposit, soil,…) and more.
