It is our pleasure to announce the forthcoming 2005 Minerva-Gentner Symposium: A Dive into Magnetic Resonance.

The objective of this meeting is to assemble a group of experts on biomolecular solution and solid state NMR, NMR hardware, small molecule NMR, polymer NMR spectroscopy, in vivo NMR and MRI, diffusion-weighted MR, ODMR and pulsed EPR, to discuss their latest conceptual and technical advances as well as the methodological frontiers of the Magnetic Resonance field.

The Workshop will take place in the Herods Forum Hotel, Eilat, overlooking Israel's Red Sea Riviera, between December 11-15, 2005. Located right by the beach, with the blue waters of the Red Sea on its front and the Red Mountains of the Edom and the Negev on its surrounding, this luxury site includes a spa and numerous swimming pools where one can enjoy constant sun and mild winter temperatures (max. ~22C). Eilat, Israel's southernmost city, can be accessed directly by commercial flights; a series of bus rides departing from Tel Aviv's airport and other major Israeli cities and research institutions will also be arranged for the conference.

A world-class series of specialists have already confirmed their prospective participation in the meeting. We look forward to welcome you as well to this cutting-edge event, in this exciting location.
