DACH-ISMRM Annual Meeting 2024

4 Sept 2024, 07:00 → 5 Sept 2024, 23:00 Europe/Berlin

Seminar Room (MPI for Intelligent Systems)

The annual meeting of the German-speaking section of ISMRM (DACH-ISMRM) will take place in Tübingen, Germany, from September 4 to September 5, 2024. The Department of High-Field Magnetic Resonance of the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics will warmly welcome you to Tübingen.

A special concern of the DACH-ISMRM is the support of young scientists in the field of magnetic resonance in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. We would therefore particularly like to address and motivate students, doctoral candidates and young researchers to submit and present their work. The language of presentation will be English, but we will continue to allow presentations in German with English slides.
