The European Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and Biology (ESMRMB) is a non-profit organization founded in 1984 to promote education and research in magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy. Its focus spans from basic science and technology to biological and clinical applications. ESMRMB welcomes professionals from diverse disciplines, including physicians, physicists, engineers, scientists, and radiographers, as well as anyone interested in advancing magnetic resonance techniques in medicine and biology.
Governed by an elected Executive Board and supported by the Central Office in Vienna, Austria, ESMRMB operates through multiple Committees and specialized Working Groups. The Early Career Researchers Committee, composed of annually selected Early Career Research Fellows, underscores the society’s commitment to fostering young scientists’ careers.
ESMRMB hosts a major annual conference, bringing together researchers from across Europe for a mix of scientific and educational sessions, along with multiple networking opportunities. The society also offers structured educational programs through three main initiatives: the School of MRI (for physicians and radiographers), Hands-on MRI (for practical training), and Lectures on MR (for physicists and basic scientists).
ESMRMB’s official journal, Magnetic Resonance Materials in Physics, Biology, and Medicine (MAGMA), has been a leading multidisciplinary publication since 1994, showcasing the latest advancements in the field.
