1st School for Practical Insights in NMR (SPINMR)

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the 1st School for Practical Insights in NMR (SPINMR) - from 21st to 23rd January 2026, IQS, Barcelona — a scientific gathering event dedicated to real-world applications and the practical aspects of NMR. SPINMR addresses the everyday challenges faced in NMR laboratories across Europe, offering hands-on insights across a broad spectrum of disciplines.

Join us for this inaugural edition of SPINMR and engage with an energetic community committed to advancing practical NMR expertise.

Purpose of SPINMR

SPINMR is a hands-on learning experience designed for PhD students and early-career researchers who want to master the practical side of NMR.

SPINMR immerses you in real-world NMR skills — setting up experiments, troubleshooting issues, and extracting the most valuable from your data. 

Whether you're taking your first steps in NMR or looking to sharpen your lab expertise, the program covers diverse NMR techniques with a strong focus on real case studies, bridging the gap between knowledge and practice. The program brings together an exceptional lineup of NMR specialists, each a leading expert in their field, who will share firsthand insights from cutting-edge research, giving direct access to the techniques and troubleshooting approaches used in top labs today.
