A Warm Welcome
Dear friends and colleagues,
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to our 32nd Annual Scientific
Meeting in Edinburgh (UK).
This year we will focus on integration and collaboration: between
clinicians and physicists, between junior and senior researchers,
and between the fundamental and applied sciences. In addition
to interactive scientific sessions and dedicated networking
opportunities, we present an educational programme highlighting
both well-established and novel MRI techniques and applications. Of
course, traditional highlights can again be found in the programme,
such as the Sir Peter Mansfield Lecture, the Hot Topic Debate, and
the Roundtable Discussion.
The city of Edinburgh boasts stunning architecture including the
mediaeval Old Town, the Georgian New Town and of course its
famous castle. It is a compact, vibrant city with a huge range of
restaurants to suit all tastes and pockets. The University of Edinburgh
is ranked among the world's top 20 research universities and has
a strong tradition in medicine.
With easy access to the countryside, day trips to the mountains and
lochs of the Scottish Highlands are highly recommended.
So come and join us for many opportunities to discuss the latest
technology or learn about the latest clincial applications, and most
importantly to meet and make friends within the field of magnetic
resonance in the stunning city of Edinburgh!

Edinburgh: Where centuries of history meet a vibrant, cosmopolitan
city in an unforgettable setting
Edinburgh is a must-see cultural capital and has something for
everyone, day and night.
It is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city, boasting an exceptional blend of
contemporary pubs and bars, restaurants, specialist retailers and
leading tourist attractions.
Days can be spent exploring the city’s medieval alleyways and glorious
architecture – not least the magnificent Edinburgh Castle, dramatically
perched on an extinct volcano, high above the city centre.

Holyrood House
Nights out in Edinburgh provide an opportunity to discover what
makes the city tick amidst the bustling bars, clubs and lively street
scenes.
For international visitors, Edinburgh is the second favourite UK
city for tourism after London thanks to its ideal mix of shopping,
entertainment, culture and history.
